PS3 SIXAXIS Control RC Heli

PS3 Controller over R/C Helicopter

Last time, I have mentioned about the gloved hand R/C helicopter controller, which is pretty impressive. This time, a much entertaining and familiar controller emerged. Someone show us that PS3 controller “SIXAXIS” is more than what it used to be…

PS3 SIXAXIS Modes

As PS3 SIXAXIS can receive signals through both button-pressing and 3D motions. You can see these were demonstrated in the video above.
In “stick” mode, the on-board computer running Linux receives data from the SIXAXIS over Bluetooth L2CAP and emulates a mode 2 RC helicopter transmitter.
In “tilt sensor” mode, cyclic pitch is controlled by two of the three accelerometers, rather than by the right-hand stick.
You may also watch this video to have a look at motion tracking with PS3 SIXAXIS.

How it setup technically?(geek only)

Yes, I am lazy. Here is what you want.
