<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">David,<div>    A little more info from Roboshop's BotBoardArduino manual discussing a specific set of pins brought out on the board and as identified as "port 8". Note: nothing special about the pins, except the pullup resistor. Also provides info on possible wiring color schemes used on the controller. </div><div><br></div><div>  8. This port is for connecting a Sony Playstation controller to use as a robot controller. The Lynxmotion,
Sony, and Madcatz controllers we tested only required a 1K pullup on Pin 6, which is built into the board
and must be enabled by installing a jumper on the JPU. Other brands may require a pullup on Pin 9, which
is not included. Note, some controllers require the green wire to be connected to 7.5vdc to enable
vibrating motors, or wireless operation. The Playstation 2 cables' coloring differs from different
production runs. Please refer to the table in the Shorting Bars and Connections section to verify the color
coding and connections for your cable.
