PS4 Controller Setup
1. Once the Pi boots, click the Bluetooth icon on the top right of your Desktop, followed by
Setup New Device.
2. A window should pop up welcoming you to the Bluetooth Device Setup Assistant.
Click the Next button.
3. Press and hold the Share button on the PS4 controller. While holding the Share button,
press and hold the PS Button.
4. After a few seconds, the triangular-shaped LED located between the L2 and R2 buttons
should start rapidly flashing white (about twice a second) at which point you can let go.
5. On the computer, click the Magnifying Glass icon on the lower left of the Device
window. Wait until you see Wireless Controller pop up, select it, and click Next on the
bottom right of the window.
6. A message should pop up asking if you would like to Pair Device or Proceed Without
Pairing. Select Pair Device and click Next on the bottom right of the screen.
7. A new message should now display asking you to either connect to Human Interface
Device Service (HID) or Don’t Connect. Select the Human Interface Device Service
(HID) option and click Next.
8. In the following screen, you should see a message either saying that the Device added
successfully, but failed to connect or that the Device added and connected
successfully. This is typical and you should just click Close on the bottom right of the
screen.
9. If the message said that the device connected successfully, you will need to disconnect
and reconnect the controller for the next step. To do that, hold down the PS Button for
about 10 seconds until the blue LED at the front of the controller turns off.
10. Then, tap the PS Button on the controller (no need to hold it down), and after waiting a
few seconds, you should see the LED at the front turn blue.
11. At this point, you should see a small popup on the top right of the screen titled
Bluetooth Authentication. Make sure to click the Always Accept option. This means
that the computer will always pair with your PS4 controller when you tap the PS button.
