===== PP1 =====
*Models
**MSU PP1.2 MAIN ALPS

Notable differences include
* Plastic finish being glossy
* Player LEDs arranged in a square around the USB-mini port and includes a clear plastic shield over the opening for the LEDs
* PS Home button is clear and retains a red LED underneath it
* L2 and R2 buttons are present as opposed to Triggers
* Motors are present
* Battery inside contains a sticker with the date 2006/3/2 and the model of the batter appears to be longer
* Lacks the pinhole and switch on the back
* Label on the front reads '''Gセンサー搭載 Stick動作せず''' once roughly translated it reads '''Powered by the G Sensor, without moving the stick'''
* Label on the back reads '''0604KATA2'''
* Toshiba MCU is on top side of the board (in all the other models is at bottom)
* The main board was designed without [https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/technical-articles/introduction-to-mems-gyroscopes-vibratory-gyroscope/ gyroscope] and without accelerometer sensors, it has a "children board" sticked on top manufactured by HDK (the first 2 letters of the "HDK" brand are partially visible etched on copper on the children board), this children board includes the accelerometer '''HDK HAAM 325B''' [https://www.hdk.co.jp/japanese/topics_j/tpc053_j.htm]. It outputs 3 signals on the 3 white wires "hand made" soldered to the TOSHIBA controller to retrieve the axis data. The other "hand made" soldered component uses 3 wires (black = ground, red = volts, and yellow soldered to TP26) seems to be a '''Murata ENC-03R''' Gyroscope Sensor [http://www.alldatasheet.es/datasheet-pdf/pdf/191258/MURATA/ENC-03R.html]. It seems both components was integrated later in the circuit board of the controllers labeled "sixaxis"

Internally the Gyroscopic sensor for Sixaxis controllers is wired onto the board - presumably as a test for a sensor revision on a spare sample board. The sensor itself appears to be far from complete and very early.
Windows (10) detects the controller when connected via USB; analog sticks do not get detected but all other buttons do. The controller does not work on '''DECHA00A/J''' units, but might work on '''DECR''' units or earlier. <!-- it seems the controller was faulty at some point and was repaired (or attempted to be repaired) by replacing the blue electrolitic capacitor laying horizontally on top of the board, maybe thats the reason why the sticks are not detected on windows -->

==== PCB TestPoints ====
{{PlayStation 3 controller PCB TestPoints}}

=== Ribbon Circuit Boards ===
For any arcade stick builders soldering to the vias on the PCB board (in the models where there are no testpoints availables) isn't exactly the easiest thing to do, using the copper contacts for the ribbon board is really the best option. In some board models (VX3, VX4, VX5, VX6, VX8) the copper contacts are covered by a black carbon material that needs to be removed if these spots are to be used to solder in them, this can be done with an X-acto knife or some fine sandpaper, just be careful and when you get to the shiny copper, STOP, you're done. Tin it up with some solder and there are your spots to use. Try and use a 30awg wire, or 28awg at the largest, and make sure to secure the wiring with some hot glue after you make the connection, but don't glue over the solder joint you just made, secure the wire to the board back from the solder joint, in case you ever have to get to it again for any reason.

The pull-up 7.5k Resistors ("printed" on the ribbon circuit boards) also need to be put back in the circuit as they're built into the ribbon board and when it's removed they're not, and the controller will act up on you if these are not in the circuit. There needs to be 2 of these pull-up resistors installed, one goes from V_STBY to COM1, the other goes from V_STBY to COM2. If you don't have any 7.5k resistors you can use anything from 6.8k to 10k really, but they do need to be installed since the ribbon board is removed when building an arcade stick, all of the PS3 controllers are setup this way and need those pull-up resistors if the ribbon board is removed

Counting from left to right... pins 8 and 14 are connected together in the PCB and carries 2.8v stanbdy (in the PCB the copper traces are wider than the others for this reason), This means there is a voltage permanently on this ribbon, also the {{padps}} button "wakes up" the controller from standby by sending this voltage back to toshiba chip

The pinout of the Toshiba T6UN6EFG-003 was traced in a VX4 board. Has not been verifyed if the pinout matches with T6UN6EFG-001 or T6UN6EFG-002 or other boards. It seems the pins can be remapped at bootloder as can be seen in the photos of the [http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/File:Sixaxis-Dualshock_3_Engineering_Sample_-_Front_Board.jpg PP1 prototype] (note the sensors in that photo are connected to pins 77, 78, 79, 80, this doesnt matches with newer dualshocks 3 models). Some people said in most older versions of the controller it was posible to update the controller firmware by USB with a tool that uploads a rom to the controller, this update procedure should be made by using the BT module because all USB connections are managed by it (so in some way it was the BT module the responsible to update the toshiba controller)

=== Memory (EEPROM) ===
All the EEPROMS uses the TSSOP 8-Pin package, the first ones uses [https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/serial-peripheral-interface-spi SPI protocol] and last one [https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/i2c I2C protocol]. Are located the most closer posible to the toshiba controller (the master of the SPI channel), in the opposite side of the board aligned to a border of it

If you scroll down this wiki page a bit you will notice the pinout of the first EEPROM is the same than the next ones, the pinout tables are repeated for convenience, in the case of the Renesas 504E it was used in boards PP1, PP4, V2, V2.5, VX, V3.5X but that boards had different versions of the toshiba MCU (T6UM'''2'''EFG-0'''103''', T6UM'''3'''EFG-00'''1''', T6UN'''6'''EFG-00'''1''', T6UN'''6'''EFG-00'''2'''), some pins of that component was remapped at some point, probably this changes never affected the EEPROM pins (so this info about the toshiba pinout could be removed from here because can be seen in the [[Template:Toshiba T6UN6EFG Pinout]]), but by now are kept here inside the EEPROM pinout tables just incase someone needs or wants to add accurate pin-to-pin details of an specific board model. If at some point it can be verifyed that all EEPROM pins are connected to the same toshiba MCU pins in all the board models then it will be better to replace all duplicated EEPROM pinout tables by a single one but until that happens is better this way. Also the tables can be used to add info about the board testpoints, new board models doesnt have testpoints for EEPROM lines but is posible some old models have them, in that case this tables can be used to add info about them (while rushing as i did) and later move that EEPROM testpoint info to [[Template:PlayStation 3 controller PCB TestPoints]]

==== Texas Instruments BKO ====
<div style="float:right">[[File:Texas Instruments BKO.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Texas Instruments BKO]]</div>
10 pins. Used in PP1, PP4, V2, V2.5 boards (all prototypes and retail sixasix models)
*Texas Instruments BQ24027
*bqTINY-II dual input USB/AC 1-Cell Li-Ion charger with "charge enable" input & "power good" output
*http://www.ti.com/product/BQ24027 http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/bq24027.pdf

This component is designed to work as a battery charger able to select automatically the power source from 2 optional inputs (based in the presence of them), from either an external AC adapter or from a USB cable. In the datasheet this 2 power sources are connected to pin 1 (AC) and pin 2 (USB). But the playstation 3 controllers doesnt have a connector for an AC adapter aaauch... This is the reason why the V_USB rail of the circuit board is connected to pin 1, and pin 2 seems to be unconnected. In other words... the USB is connected to the pin where it was supposed to be connected an AC adapter (pin 1) and there is nothing in pin 2

There are three consequences of this "hack", every power input pin has specific features for it (internally the component has different subcircuits for each power input). Basically the most important ones are the charge current from pin 2 (intended for USB power input) can be controlled by pin 7, it has 3 charge modes for the battery (high=500 mA, low=100mA, hi-z=disable USB charge), but because there is nothing connected to pin 2 all this internal circuits are pointless... This is the reason why in the photos looks like pin 7 is connected to ground, by grounding it sets the charge mode in 100mA but the only purpose of grounding it is to set that pin in a stable state, so is grounded for safety

The second consequence of this hack is the power input connected to pin 1 allows for a much more better control of the charge voltages (it was intended for an AC adapter but here is used for USB), the datasheet tells this is made by using an external resistor connected to pin 6, the value of the resistor indicates the charge mode, intensity, and other settings for a special function able to "wake up" faulty batteries and for the "<abbr title="A charge regime delivering moderately high-rate charging current when the battery is at a low state of charge and tapering the current to lower rates as the battery becomes more fully charged">taper charge</abbr>". Instead of a simple resistor to control all this, what the playstation controller has is several resistors connected in a <abbr title="all board models controls the battery this way, and the components involved seems to be the same in the same configuration... the resistor values and the control signal could vary by board though">very characteristic way</abbr> to a transistor, and this transistor is driven by the main MCU

Another pin that changes his function is pin 8, is intended to indicate the presence of an AC adapter connected to pin1, but here we have USB connected to pin 1, so pin 8 indicates the presence of USB power

The reason why sony chose this component (even being over the requirements of the playtation 3 controller) is because seems to be very accurate in voltage regulations and it has some additional features to control and monitor the charging processes

*'''Battery pre-conditioning'''
**If the battery voltage falls below a threshold during a charge cycle, the bqTINY-II applies a precharge current to the battery. This feature revives deeply discharged cells. The resistor connected between the '''ISET1''' and VSS determines the precharge rate. The bqTINY-II activates a safety timer during the conditioning phase. If threshold is not reached within the timer period, the bqTINY-II turns off the charger and asserts a FAULT code on the STATx pins

*'''Battery charge current'''
**The bqTINY-II offers on-chip current regulation with a programmable set point. The resistor connected between the '''ISET1''' and VSS determines the AC charge rate

*'''Battery voltage regulation'''
**The voltage regulation feedback is through the OUT pin. This input is tied directly to the positive side of the battery pack. The bqTINY-II monitors the battery-pack voltage between the OUT and VSS pins. When the battery voltage rises to a threshold, the voltage-regulation phase begins and the charging current begins to taper down. As a safety backup, the bqTINY-II also monitors the charge time. If the charge is not terminated within a time period the bqTINY-II turns off the charger and asserts a FAULT code on the STATx pins

*'''Charge taper detection, termination, and recharge'''
**The bqTINY-II monitors the charging current during the voltage-regulation phase. Once the taper threshold is detected, the bq24027 terminates the charge. There is no taper timer for this version. The resistor connected between the '''ISET1''' and VSS determines the taper-detect level for AC input. In addition to taper-current detection, the bqTINY-II terminates charge if the charge current falls below the a threshold. This feature allows quick recognition of a battery-removal condition, or insertion of a fully charged battery. Note that the charge timer is bypassed for this feature. The resistor connected between the '''ISET1''' and VSS determines the taper detection level

*'''Sleep mode'''
**The bqTINY-II enters low-power sleep mode if both AC and USB are removed from the circuit. This feature prevents draining the battery in the absence of input supply

*'''PG''': The open-drain PG (Power Good, pin 8) indicates when the "power source 1" (pin 1) is present. The output turns ON when a valid voltage is detected. This output is turned off in the sleep mode. The PG pin can be used to drive a LED or to communicate to the host processor

*'''CE''': The CE digital input (Charge Enable, pin 9) is used to disable or enable the charge process. A low-level signal on this pin enables the charge. A high-level signal disables the charge, and places the device in a low-power mode. A high-to-low transition on this pin also resets all timers and timer fault conditions

*'''ISET1''': The bqTINY-II offers on-chip current regulation with a programmable set point. The resistor connected between the ISET1 and VSS, determines the "power source 1" charge rate

*'''STAT1''' and '''STAT2''': The open-drain STAT1 and STAT2 outputs indicate various charger operations as shown in the following table. These status pins can be used to drive LEDs or communicate to the host processor. Note that OFF indicates the open-drain transistor is turned off

*Notes
**This component seems to provide several voltages for the BT module that i could not identify, probably are for the different components inside the BT module
**The connections named in the table BT_POWER_ON and STICKS_POWER_ON with the toshiba T6UN6EFG could have two purposes, either to provide voltages for the subcircuits inside toshiba T6UN6EFG, or to allow the toshiba T6UN6EFG to send control signals to switch the low voltage power rails (marked in orange in te table). This is a big blind shoot though, based in how some groups of connections are grouped at the toshiba T6UN6EFG side (see the [[Template:Toshiba T6UN6EFG Pinout]])
**The toshiba T6UN6EFG (pin 4) is connected to the battery + pin so it should work even if the texas instruments SN89062 is disabled, is unknown how much of the internal circuits of the toshiba T6UN6EFG are enabled by pin 4, but there are some other subcircuits of the toshiba T6UN6EFG that are powered by the standby power rail generated by the instruments SN89062 (the V_STBY pin in the table). The importance of this details is at logic level in the way the circuit works and who is the "boss" of the board
**The battery power rail has 3 connections, to the battery + pin connector, to the Texas Instruments SN89062 pin 16 (there is a direct connection in between this two), and also connected to the T6UN6EFG pin 4 by using an intermediate 147K/190K diode ?, and another diode of the same value to ground. The point of this diodes is to protect the toshiba chip because the other side of the battery power rail can work in two modes, when the controller is working and the only power source is the battery then the battery power rail provides power to the toshiba T6UN6EFG and Texas Instruments SN89062, and when the USB cable is connected then the Texas Instruments SN89062 checks the battery charge and starts the recharge, this recharge is made by using variable voltages (if the battery is very empty the voltage is higher and at the end of the chargue it starts reducing the intensity), the toshiba T6UN6EFG cant work with this variable voltages (other than using this voltage values as a check to know how the charge process is being made in a very accurate way), so the diodes seems to work as a barrier to stop that variable voltage to reach the toshiba T6UN6EFG
**All the boards has a component (with 5 pins) that protects the USB lines from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_discharge ESD] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_interference EMI] and other kind of dangerous voltage effects that could appear on the USB data lines, is connected to the USB power rail (pin 4), standby power rail (pin 3), USB data + (pin 1), USB data - (pin 5), and to ground (pin 2). In some of the board models (the ones that has that side of the board printed such V2.5) it can be seen is labeled D1 (diode 1, the first and most important diode of the board), the component is listed in [https://www.electronicproducts.com/Sony_Playstation_3-whatsinside_text-10.aspx this link] as one of the parts of the PP4 boards and is marked 500 (when looking at a photo of a PP4 board search for the component labeled D1, and marked 500, next to the USB connector), sadly i could not find a accurate datasheet of it (if someone finds something please post it), but is something close to [http://www.syncpower.com/datasheet/SPE6V8UN.pdf this] (dual) or [https://assets.nexperia.com/documents/data-sheet/BZA800AVL_SERIES.pdf this] (quad). The component is actually a diode array made either with standard or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient-voltage-suppression_diode TVS diodes]. It can be defined as something such... "multichannel ESD protection diode array" (the 2 channels are the USB data lines + and -, and the 2 voltages are the USB or battery power sources). In VX4 version of the board this diode is marked N13, in VX5 N1W, in PP1 prototype (and PP4) 500, in VX7 N1D ?

*Texas Instruments TS3A5018 TSSOP package
*http://www.ti.com/product/TS3A5018
*http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/ts3a5018.pdf

The TS3A5018 is a quad single-pole-double-throw ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch#Contact_terminology SPDT]) bidirectional solid-state analog switch

For this device, NC stands for normally closed and NO stands for normally open. When powered on, each COM pin is connected to its respective NC pin

The switch is enabled when EN is low. If IN is also low, COM is connected to NC. If IN is high, COM is connected to NO

The TS3A5018 is a break-before-make switch. This means that during switching, a connection is broken before a new connection is established. The NC and NO pins are never connected to each other

There are 2 components like this one in the boards where are used, every one of them is for an stick, is connected to that stick and the toshiba main controller to send the values of the X and Y axis of that stick, this two lines uses to have a testpoit

The 763 is a rare variant used only in MSU V2 2.14 boards, the only notable difference is the connections named <abbr title="the traces cant be followed in the photos, in some models seems to do some kind of loop, and in others seems to go far away maybe to the toshiba T6UN*EFG">something weird</abbr> in the pinout table are located in pins 3 and 5 (instead of pins 2 and 6), other than that there are no differences, is exactly the same component

Since this revision of the board the stick pots has 4 pins each (pole_1, pole_2, v_sticks, gnd) in that order from left to right (previous models has sticks with 3 pins pots)

In [http://www.alps.com/products/e/category_multi.html ALPS] webpage are only available sticks with 3 pins pots, there are two posible explains for this, maybe ALPS manufactured the sticks without pots and sony ordered this special version of the pots to other company then sony asembled the pots and sticks together.... or... ALPS made an special production of sticks with 4 pins pots. anyway, this pots with 4 pins are a bit special

In the boards where this component is present (or his replacement upgraded versions) every stick has two pots (to meassure rotations of X and Y axis of that stick), and every pot has 2 pins that are carrying the signals related with the rotation of the axis (pin 1 and 2 of the pot). This signals are voltages, but there is also another pin of the pot that has an additional voltage (pin 3). Inside the pot there are two separated voltages, this seems to create a magnetic field with the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect hall effect]. Also this allowed them (in further versions of the pots) to separate the mobile parts inside the pot by an intermediary "seal" that prevents dust and degradation of the parts

So... this component is the initial version that gives support for this "special sticks with 4 pins pots"

28 pins. Used in VX3, and VX4 boards

This component is dedicated to controll the sticks, the internal circuits inside it has some kind of simmetry, the V_STICKS voltage is only used to enable it. VX3 and VX4 boards has 7 capacitor networks in total and this component uses 4 of them. The 3 resistors used in the subcircuits are colored in blue which seems to indicate that are high precision.

*The subcircuit seems to work this way, im going to use rounded numbers for the math calculations because the values could vary at the time was meassured (in the schematic image at right)
**The resistance between pins inmediatly (in the first few miliseconds) when is powered up is:
***In between pin 12 and pin 15 = 35.8K + 6.70K = 42.7K
***In between pin 12 and pin 16 = 35.8K + 6.70K + 1K = 43.7K
***In between pin 13 and pin 14 = 42.7K
***In between pin 13 and pin 17 = 42.7K + 1K = 43.7K
**After some time has passed, the thermistor starts heating up, and its resistance decreases (not sure if down to zero), it works as a bypass for the 6.70K blue resistor
***In between pin 12 and pin 15 = 35.8K + <abbr title="this is the thermistor when is hot, working as a bypass">0K</abbr> = 35.8K
***In between pin 12 and pin 16 = 35.8K + <abbr title="this is the thermistor when is hot, working as a bypass">0K</abbr> + 1K = 36.8K
***Only this two lines decreases his resitance along time. The other lines (connected to pin 13) doesnt changes because doesnt have a thermistor

So the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermistor NTC thermistor] is working as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current_limiter Inrush current limiter] for pins 15 and 16. And this pins seems to be related with the negative pole of the potentiometers

By comparing this chip with the previous Toshiba TC75W54 there are two important differences, most notable is the Toshiba TC75W54 doesnt have the pins dedicated to the sticks subcircuits loops (where the thermistor/s is/are located) but it seems are around it, the Toshiba TC75W54 has 4 thermistors dedicated to this loops and Texas Instruments SN84001 has only one (this is an improvement to reduce costs and to make the circuit more simple and efficient). The point is that loops seems to be similar, maybe not exactly the same but something close to it. The other big difference is the Toshiba TC75W54 doesnt have connections with Toshiba T6UN6EFG pins 37, 38, 39, 40 (but are used connected somewhere else)... most probably is this pins are related with the stick subcircuits loops too

In VX5 board there are 2 capacitor networks composed by 4 capacitors packed together, all them are connected in between this component and the toshiba T6UN6EFG, a total of 8 lines related with the sticks

This is the only version of the boards where there is not a transistor (usually marked as <abbr title="Acronym of a Digital Potentiometer ?">'''DP'''</abbr>) to set the resistance that controlls the battery charge speeds, taper, and other battery charge configurations, the reason why this component doesnt exists in VX5 is because is integrated inside Texas Instruments A6044A0. The way it works is 1) toshiba pin 41 sends the signal (that was connected to the base of a transistor in all the other board versions) to Texas Instruments A6044A0 pin 42. Then 2) the signal drives an internal transistor (or digital potentiometer ?) inside the Texas Instruments A6044A0 that has the emitter pin connected to ground, so pin 43 is totally (or partially with a variable resistance ?) connected to ground. Then 3) Texas Instruments A6044A0 pin 45 calculates the battery setpoint by meassuring the resistance in between pin 43 (ground) and 45. Pin 45 works exactly the same way than in other boards models, actually the values of the resistor and diode in between pin 43 and 45 are the same used in some other boards such VX4

=== Stick types ===

==== ALPS sticks with 3 Pins pots (rev 1) ====
Used in PP1 (prototype), and PP4 (first sixaxis retail) boards

==== ALPS sticks with 4 Pins pots (rev 2 and 3 ?) ====
Two rotational potentiometers (variable resistors) are positioned below eack stick to meassure X and Y displacement. Current flows constantly through each one, and the amount of current is determined by the amount of resistance. Resistance is increased or decreased based on the position of the stick in a range from 0V up to 2.8V with center point at 1.4V

=== Motors ===
In all the boards (except sixaxis models) there are 2 small components to controll the vibration motors (small and big motors, usually labeled as SM and BM). All them seems to be manufactured by http://www.keccorp.com/

*3 pins (transistors ?)
**In PP1.2 prototype boards the components are marked as '''-KF''' (Q7 and Q8 in [http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/images/2/27/Sixaxis-Dualshock_3_Engineering_Sample_-_Front_Board.jpg this] photo, close to the pads where the motors wires are soldered). [http://www2.kec.co.kr/data/databook/pdf/BC_/Eng/BC846_7_8W.pdf KEC BC84] based ?
**In VX boards (first dualshock 3 model with motors) components are Q4 and Q5 in [http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/images/0/08/MSU_VX_1.03_%28Top%29.jpg this] photo... the marks are not readable
*5 pins (voltage regulators ?)
**In V3.5X, VX3, VX4, VX5, VX6 ... first time the components are marked as '''KEX'''
**In VX7 and VX8 are marked as '''KE4''' (one is Q3... the other is not labeled)

=== Sensors ===
About sensors and testpoints... In a PS3 controller board (sisaxis or dualshock 3) there are 4 data lines that are the outputs of the sensors (accelerometer X, accelerometer Y, accelerometer Z, and gyroscope), that goes from the sensor itself to a resistor and then to the toshiba T6UN6EFG controller. Every one of that lines has 2 testpoint, one before and one after the resistor, the purpose of this testpoints is to meassure the raw data from the sensors and also to check the health of that resistor (seems to be critical, either because is degraded with the use, or because could be fryed suddenly), the schematic for every one of this lines is as simple as this:
 sensor output -> testpoint -> resistor -> testpoint -> toshiba T6UN6EFG controller
The resistor seems to have a value of 33K (verifyed in VX4 board only) and works as a filter

When the controller is turned off is posible to meassure the value of the resistor by meassuring resistance in between the two testpoints. When the controller is working is posible to check the sensor "raw" signal by touching in the first testpoint, and the "filtered" signal by touching the second testpoint (this is what the toshiba T6UN6EFG really gets)

About sensors location in the board... The giroscope is always located at the center of the board in between the sticks and aligned with the USB connector, this is because it meassures rotations around an imaginary axis located in that position (vertically in your room from floor to roof and passing exactly in between your controller sticks). The accelerometer is always located in the left-top corner of the board, this seems to be because this area is more sensitive for right handed people (if you are right handed and shake it with only right hand... the left side of the board is going to suffer more g-force)

14 pins (pin numbers are painted in white in some boards). Accelerometer - 3-Axis

This component seems to be fully compatible with the KIONIX KXPC4 accelerometer, actually most boards models has solder points to mount both, the kionix and this one (the boards are "ready" for both, is at manufacturing time when they decides which component to use)

Most of the photos of the different board models here in wiki uses the kionix (and this is a coincidence)... but if you look at the photo of the other side of that same board you will see an "empty" placement for this chip instead, aligned with it, in a corner of the board. The few exceptions are the most older models

*SPI
**The SPI port can be used for system debugging. It can also be used for programming the Flash memory
**The DFU boot loader must be loaded into the Flash device before the UART or USB interfaces can be used. This initial flash programming can be done via the SPI

*UART
**BlueCore4-External UART interface provides a simple mechanism for communicating with other serial devices using the RS232 protocol. Four signals are used to implement the UART function. When BlueCore4-External is connected to another digital device, UART_RX and UART_TX transfer data between the two devices. The remaining two signals, UART_CTS and UART_RTS, can be used to implement RS232 hardware flow control where both are active low indicators

==== Onboard (not a module) ====
===== Cambridge Silicon Radio unknown =====
<div style="float:right">[[File:Cambridge Silicon Radio BT bluecore unknown.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Cambridge Silicon Radio BT bluecore unknown]]</div>
Used in boards: VX8 only

This version of the logic "chip" probably is pretty similar (or exactly the same) than the one used inside the previous ALPS 603A BT module, the difference is the crystal and the "chip" itself has been moved out of the "old" BT modules PCB, that BT module PCB had 6 layers in previous versions and the dualshock 3 PCB had 2 layers. To make this change posible the PCB of VX8 boards is multilayer (there are a lot of traces "hidden" connected to the BT "chip")
<!--Actually, VX8 board doesnt have a MCU (the toshiba main controller was removed, wtf)... this is very weird, it means everything is connected to the bluecore chip... so is doing a lot more than previous versions -->
<div style="clear:both;"></div>

== Ways to tell if the controller is not original ==
[[File:Dualshock 3 fake (leds light transpassing the plastic case).jpg|400px|thumb|right| Dualshock 3 fake (leds light transpassing the plastic case)]]

*The SONY logo on the top of a counterfeit controller will not be aligned correctly with a original controller.

*Different sticker label
**Counterfeit controllers have an extra screw on the back, hidden beneath the sticker.
**The label on the back of a counterfeit controller will be paper sticker.
**The label on the back of an official controller will have a thin layer of plastic over the paper sticker, giving it a matte finish and a more protected feel.
**The paper label on the back of a counterfeit controller will not be correctly aligned with the shape of the device on the back, as it was most likely put on by hand.

*Buttons
**The center Home button on a counterfeit controller will be marginally darker than the Home button on an official controller.
**Square, Triangle, Circle, and Cross buttons will be raised higher on a counterfeit controller.
**The colors of these face buttons will be dull, compared to the bright colors of an official DualShock 3.

*Sticks
**Compared to an official controller, the seams beneath the analog sticks where the bottom and top halves of the plastic meet will be sharp.

*Leds
**The LEDs lights on the controller that signify which Player it is controlling will not be flush with the outside shell. Official controllers are relatively level all the way across. Some controllers may have minor protrusion of the LEDs, though this should not be significant.
**When you turn on a counterfeit the controller, the flashing red lights on the outside will actually shine THROUGH the casing of the device, something that would never happen on an official product.
**When battery is low on the counterfeit controllers, it may repeatedly show the low battery notification on your Playstation multiple times.

*Syncing
**If you have consistent trouble wirelessly syncing your controller to your PS3, the device may be counterfeit.

* No pressure-sensitive buttons, some games might not even go past the title screen. An example is Metal Gear 2/3 from the Metal Gear Solid HD collection, selecting any of those games will either get you stuck in the title screen (MGS2) or will not function properly (MGS3).

==Homebrew==

*PS Seismograph 0.2.0 from Deroad:

 I have updated my homebrew to 0.2.0. now it supports all tv resolution (old versions were only for 1080p/i tv)
 This is a simple Seismograph for ps3. it uses all the axis of the first controller.
