Lynxmotion PS2 Controller V4
Description
- Works nicely with Arduino equipped robots
- Range of around 10 meters, exceed when used outdoors
- Two analog joysticks and 16 buttons available for robot control
- Receiver adapter is included
The Lynxmotion PS2 Controller V4 is actually a 2.4ghz wireless Play Station 2 game controller. It includes a small receiver module with PS2 connector and two cables. No level shifter is required for this version of the remote control, though one can be used without issue. The Robot Controller requires two "AAA" batteries (not included) for use. The green LED on the receiver will blink when powered, and become solid when connection is established with the transmitter. Note that multiple units cannot be used in proximity as their signals will interfere with each other.
This Lynxmotion PS2 Controller V4 works perfectly with BotBoarduino or Arduino equipped robots. The controller has a range of around 10 meters, more when used outdoors. Two analog joysticks and 16 buttons available for robot control. The receiver adapter is included as well as mounting hardware and cables.
Overall a great value and plenty of online support .
I had no trouble adding this to my grandsons two wheel "FrankenDueno" robot.
He was excited to see a PS controller doing something other than playing video games.
I did notice a rattle from the controller right out of the box. Most likely broken plastic or piece of solder but it's working fine .
The joy sticks are very course and are either all the way on or all the way off. If you try to move them forward or back gradually you find you only get to move them half way before they are maxed out. The break out board is nice, the recommended software is good, but get a different controller to use it with.
My Cytron motor controller was exactly what I order, it works great, and came within shipping order time! I would recommend robot shop and cytron.
There was no problem for install and test. I can control my AL5D arm more conveniently.
Fantastic product and support. I was up and running in less than an hour. Make sure to look at the provided sample code!
