Sixpair-emu customizer

The final sixpair-emu firmware for the Teensy++ is available there.

I wrote a small python app that makes the customization of the sixpair-emu easier: nothing to compile, no firmware to download (except the pre-compiled initial one) to the Teensy++!

It looks like this:

Disclaimer:

• use it at your own risk
• the (vendor id, product id) = (0x054c, 0x0268) is the property of Sony

Instructions:

• plug the Teensy++ to the PC
• download the firmware to the Teensy++ with the Teensy loader
• if the bluetooth device to be used is a dongle, then plug it to the PC (if external)
• launch the sixpair-emu customizer
• select the Teensy++
• select the bluetooth device, or select and edit custom bdaddr
• select the (vendor id – product id): sixaxis = 0x054c – 0x0268, original firmware = 0x03eb – 0x2042
• clic apply (if there is no change, the application tells nothing was modified)
• unplug the Teensy++
• plug it to the PS3

=> the bluetooth device is registered as a Sixaxis by the PS3, so that it can connect to the PS3 as a sixaxis!

If a Teensy++ or a bluetooth device is plugged after the application is started, the refresh button allows to refresh the gui without restart.

Python code is available there.

Ubuntu:

It requires following packages:

• python 2.6.5
• python-tk
• libusb > 1.0
• pyusb > 1.0
• pybluez 0.18

It has to be launched in a terminal with the following command:

sudo python sixp-emu-cust.py

Windows:

(tested in windows vista)

– python 2.6.5 (includes python-tk)
– libusb filter driver 1.1.14.0
– pyusb 1.0.0-a0 (to be installed in cmd shell with ‘setup.py install’)
– pybluez 0.18

(the bdaddrs are not read, but custom bdaddr can be set)
