PS2 Joystick Kit
Introduction
The PS2 controller is a versatile controller suitable for various devices with different types and structures, such as remote-controlled robots, smart cars, and robotic arms. We can use the controller's joysticks, buttons, and other components to control robots to perform corresponding actions.
Note: The controller kit includes one controller and one receiver, and their communication is pre-paired by default. They cannot be paired with other controllers or receivers. The receiver is used by connecting it to the Nezha Pro Expansion board. Install two AAA batteries on the back of the controller, then toggle the power button (located between the two joysticks) to the left to turn it on. Without pairing, the controller will enter sleep mode after 30 seconds; after turning on and completing pairing, if no buttons are pressed for 5 minutes, it will automatically enter sleep mode. Press the START button to wake up the controller.
Features
- RJ11 port design prevents incorrect insertion and ensures easy use.
- The controller is bound to the receiver, so multiple controllers used simultaneously will not interfere with each other.
