dualshock-controller
Eventing API layer over HID for the Sony DualShock 3 and DualShock 4 controllers
Installation:
OSX/Windows:
npm install dualshock-controller
Linux:
Review the Linux support section.
Using the DualShock library
Important: THE CONTROLLER WILL NOT SEND ANY DATA IF YOU DO NOT PRESS THE PS BUTTON.

Linux support:
In order to provide Rumble/Gyro and LED support for all platforms the linux specific joystick implementation has been removed. This means you will need to:
Install node-hid build requirements
To build node-hid you will need to install:
- libudev-dev
- libusb-1.0-0
- libusb-1.0-0-dev
- build-essential
- git
- node-gyp
- node-pre-gyp
Using apt-get:
sudo apt-get install libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0 libusb-1.0-0-dev build-essential git
npm install -g node-gyp node-pre-gyp
Install node-hid with hidraw support
Once you have run the installation scripts above you can install the node-dualshock module, then replace the installed node-hid with hidraw support enabled node-hid:
npm install dualshock-controller
npm install node-hid --driver=hidraw --build-from-source
Create udev rules
You will need to create a udev rule to be able to access the hid stream as a non root user.
Write the following file in /etc/udev/rules.d/61-dualshock.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="input", GROUP="input", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="054c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0268", MODE:="666", GROUP="plugdev"
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", GROUP="input", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="054c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="05c4", MODE:="666", GROUP="plugdev"
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev"
Reload the rules sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
, then disconnect/connect the controller.
