---+ The PS2 game controller

The PS2 game controller can be used to remotely control our robot cars, robotic arms or other devices. There is a [[http://www.billporter.info/2010/06/05/playstation-2-controller-arduino-library-v1-0/][project ]]showing how this can be done for an Arduino.

We need to find out, however, how to connect the receiving module to the ESP32 and a driver is needed to receive the commands from the command unit.

Here is the pinout:
