Project Overview
This project is an attempt to create a simple interface to the PS Move API via a local UDP server.
Installation
Download for Windows.
Setting up the Playstation Eye
Adapted from this guide.
- Navigate to /move_api/Install/PS Eye/
- Insert PS Eye into an USB 2.0 port or above. Should appear as 'USB Camera-B4.09.24.1' or something similar in device manager.
- Run Zadig and install libusb-win32 onto 'USB Camera-B4.09.24.1' (Interface 0 on my machine)
- Don't install onto 'Interface 1', this will already have usbaudio installed.
- If no devices appear for installation tick "Options->'List All Devices'"
- Test the performance of the camera with 'test_camera.exe'. Hopefully a video stream appears!
If there is visible tearing/laggy footage:
- Try installing the WinUSB driver with Zadig instead.
- Ensure the Eye is the only USB device connected to the USB hub if possible.
Setting up a Playstation Move Controller
Adapted from this guide.
- Make sure the controller has charge before beginning or you won't be able to pair via bluetooth.
- NOTE: Windows 10 and wall chargers have trouble charging the Move Controller.
- Windows 7 and Mac work from my own testing.
- When the controller is charged pressing the 'PS' button will cause the LED on the controller to flash.
- Navigate to /move_api/Install/PS Move/
- Use the 'psmovepair.exe' utility to save the Bluetooth address to the controller. The util will fail past this point though.
- Warning: This step is easily the most frustrating. The controller seems to pair fairly randomly, once it does pair however you only need to press the 'PS' button to connect the next time. Best of luck!
Run 'psmove-pair-win.exe'.- Press the 'PS' button and allow the utility to run. If the LED stops flashing press the 'PS' button again.
- Basically continue this process until you get a successful connection, there doesn't seem to be a trick to it unfortunately.
- NOTE: If the controller is low on battery a successful connection can look like it's still pairing (flashing LED)
- Once the controller has paired run the 'magnetometer_calibration.exe' utility.
- Rotate the controller until you get a value 250+
- Stand the controller on its end on a flat surface with the 'PS' button facing you.
