Re: [ros-users] problems pairing sixaxis controller

Hi, the problem is that ubuntu is intercepting the ps3 controller before
ps3joy.py. You need to follow these instructions to get it working:
http://www.ros.org/wiki/ps3joy/KarmicInstructions. Note that if you are
using Lucid Lynx (10.04) then you can skip the part about updating pybluez,
in my experience anyways, and so you would only need to disable interception
of HID devices (step 2).

Hope that helps,
