About

This script installs the necessary packages for pairing Sony Dualshcok 3 PS3 Controllers, and subsequently attempts to pair them.

Prerequisites

You will need to properly have added the Debian sources to your system. You can use the add-debian-repos.sh script in the main SteamOS-Tools repository to add this automatically. You will need a support bluetooth receiver, a generic listing of which can be found here. You will also need a USB A-Male to Mini-B cable for your PS3 controller to pair it to the bluetooth receiver (example).

Usage

If you have not cloned SteamOS-Tools before:

git clone https://github.com/ProfessorKaos64/SteamOS-Tools
cd SteamOS-Tools/utilties
./pair-ps3-bluetooth.sh

Otherwise, install and run the script using the following command:

cd SteamOS-Tools/utilties
./pair-ps3-bluetooth.sh

After prerequisites packages are installed, pairing will begin. Please follow the onscreen dialog prompts to complete the process. Up to 4 controllers can be paired to the system
