Solved PS4 controller xu4

[OyyoDams]

@joseluis Hi, of course it works, you need a bluetooth USB dongle because the XU4 has no internal bluetooth.

@OyyoDams Hello. I have the Odroid Bluetooth Module 2 connected but nothing happens when I try to pair the xu4 with a ps4 controller. Any idea?
Thanks for your help

@joseluis first, be sure your BT controler works with Recalbox.

Then:

• if you have a real PS4, turn it off
• turn on Recalbox
• turn on your PS4 controller
• hit the RESET switch on the back of the controller
• the controller turns off
• turn on the controller again with HOME + SHARE at the same time for a while, until the blue light blinks
• in Recalbox, pair it in bluetooth options

@OyyoDams Unfortunately I have done all the directions you gave me but nothing happened. I contacted Odroid developers and they said: "We think Recalbox Kernel or Bluez stack has no proper driver for PS4...Report the issue to the Recalbox developers.". I have watched videos from people pairing ps4 controllers on a Raspberry pi 3 but not on a xu4. Any idea about what is happening?

Thanks again

@joseluis I do have a PS4 controler and a XU4, and it works. But I use a USB BT dongle, the one available on the recalstore. That's why I told you "first, be sure your BT controller works with Recalbox". I don't know if the "Module 2" works. Maybe @Substring can answer.

@joseluis are you sure you BT dongle works ok on Recalbox ? can you SSH and then give me the result of hciconfig ?

@Substring this is the result:

@joseluis that sounds good. You can try to follow this procedure to pair it in command line. Then feel free to post here the result.

@OyyoDams @Substring You are geniuses. Problem solved. Thanks for the time and patience!!!

@joseluis Thanks for your feedback!

I'm pretty sure it should have worked from Emulationstation. Anyway have fun
