Hello Robin,
I have an original Espruino board and a micro one, not yet a Puck.
And yes, I think I could utilise this: http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/ps3-ps4-controller-bluetooth
My plan is like this:
- My Espruino uses serial connection to communicate with a USB host board
- The USB host board communicates with a Bluetooth dongle
- The Bluetooth dongle communicates with a PS4 controller
I don't have to care about step two and three but I'm only guessing that I'm able to do step one. I'm a total beginner with these things, so please let me know if I'm guessing wrong.
Best regards

Hello,
Thank you for your fast answer. I did some searching and I think that these would meet requirements: http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/usb-host-board-v2 and http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/bluetooth-4-dongle
That board can be ordered with preinstalled PS3/4 firmware and gamepad data can be read from a serial output. Do you think it would work?

Hello,
I would like to make a robot with a Espruino board and control it with a bluetooth gamepad (e.g. PS4 dualshock controller or practically any HID device).
What would be the easiest way to make controlling work?
I have read that a USB host shield and a Bluetooth dongle can be used to achieve this goal, but is there any cleaner solution, e.g. some Bluetooth module that can work as a HID host?
Best regards
