PS2 Controller Starter Kit

PS2 Controller Starter Kit

Play Station 2 (PS2) controller is relatively easy to obtain from any game store and it offers good human manual input for control system. More and more developers are looking into applying existing PS2 controller to control particular system. The major problem to achieve this is the socket for PS2 and the protocol to communicate with it. PS2 socket is very unique and difficult to obtain. Besides, protocol to obtain the status (digital and analog) of each button and analog stick on PS2 controller create headache to developer. Thus, Cytron Technologies has designed a PS2 Controller Starter Kit, SKPS to offer the solution.
SKPS’s power and UART pin is compatible with SKKCA and SKXBee. A host is needed to communicate with SKPS through UART. Reading Joy-stick button’s state will be as easy as 1, 2, 3. It offers a standard connector for Sony PS2 controller to plug-in.
