Device 00:1B:FB:2F:59:49 ServicesResolved: yes Attempting to connect to 00:1B:FB:2F:59:49 If all went well you should see something like the following. Next power on the PS3 controller again and once you see the line Device 00:1B:FB:2F:59:49 00-1B-FB-2F-59-49 appearing in the terminal immediately execute the command. After the PS3 controller turned off prepare the following command in the terminal (as you will need to be quick) connect 00:1B:FB:2F:59:49. Power on the PS3 controller and you will see that it tries to connect to the Raspberry Pi in the terminal. Setting master bd_addr to b8:27:eb:31:97:da Connecting the PS3 controller to the Raspberry PiДisconnect the PS3 controller from your Mac and head back to the Raspberry Pi terminal. This command will procude something similar as below. sixpair B8:27:EB:31:97:DA (substitute the MAC address with the one your Raspberry Pi outputted).
