Compilation error: PS3 Controller Host

[CarGT88]

Hi,

I am new to the subject and have no idea.

My goal is to use Arduino IDE (2.3.6) to upload a code to an ESP-32 dev board and couple it with a PS3 controller.
I followed the instructions and got stuck on the “compilation of the sketch”.

The output highlights the following lines in red:

"
d:---\Documents\Arduino\libraries\PS3_Controller_Host\src\ps3.c: In function 'ps3SetBluetoothMacAddress':
d:---\Documents\Arduino\libraries\PS3_Controller_Host\src\ps3. c:287:5: error: implicit declaration of function 'esp_base_mac_addr_set' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
287 | esp_base_mac_addr_set(base_mac);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"

and ends with

"
exit status 1
Compilation error: exit status 1
"

Do you have an idea what I can do?

Hello

I have exactly the same problem.

My PS3 controller sketch was last compiled in July 2024 without any issues and ran with a PS3 controller and an ESP32-WroomDA Module.

Loaded Arduino IDE yesterday and it updated to 2.3.6 along with several Board updates.

since then it does not compile and gets the same error as CarGT88, even the PS3 controller Host demo sketches fail with the same issue.

Arduino IDE - Version 2.3.6
esp32 library - Version 3.20

Thanks

you can use virtual controller: https://youtu.be/DiOjzlxyG8o

@SebastianStoll - thanks for the fix. I've downgraded the ESP32 library as suggested and the sketch now compiles.
