I saw that Danny had a way to control his Thor with a PS3 controller and a Bluetooth so I decided to try it too.

I took a HC-05 Bluetooth controller that I purchased some time ago and make it operate via an Arduino nano (left in the picture). But I never managed to detect that HC-05, I am wondering if it is defective.

(The right is an ESP8266 - ESP12 I am toying with, but will not be part of the Thor project)

I got feedback from Danny to get this USB Host controller board 2.4 http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/usb-host-board-v2 (17.89€)

This USB host controller board that operates on I2C and Rx/Tx seems to contain a firmware to connect to my PS3 controllers that I still have here.

You also need to purchase a Bluetooth dongle 4.0 http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/wireless/bluetooth-4-dongle (6.46€) separately

If I can find free time from my other priorities I will definately love to try it this weekend.
