In Topic: Playstation 2 Controller interface

Not sure about the PS3 controller, it runs off Bluetooth or USB Connections. Could this be used in an application similar to Johny Chung Lee's posting: http://procrastineer...roller-for.html for the controlling part, or is it only at the receiving state?

With this code you can't really emulate a controller to an actual playstation console, I would imagine that to be an entire project on its own. Doable, maybe, but quite challenging as the communication between the controller and the console is full-duplex at a high bitrate.

It would be interesting though to hook up the netduino to a ps2 and see if it can be controlled that way.

Very cool. Do you have a wiring diagram (Fritzing perhaps)? We don't have a PS2 in the lab, but we might have to get a controller :)

Do you think the PS3 controllers are similar?

Not sure if they are backwards compatible. If you can use a ps3 controller with ps2, then there should be no problems. Might not even need any modifications. I will also include in this post a few useful links. You don't really need schematics or anything, since this requires absolutely no external components whatsoever. All you need is some wire, a controller and a netduino.
