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 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:

PS2 receiver unit	!WeMos D1 Pins	GPIO
Acknowledge	D0	26
Attention	D8 (SPI CS)	5
Clock	D5 (SPI CLK)	18
Command (PS to controller)	D6 (MISO)	19
Data (controller to PS)	D7 (MOSI)	23
Ground	GND
nc	nc
Power (3.3V)	3.3V
Vibration Motor (nc)	nc
