LED2

6 pins surface mounted RGB 2^24

• Soldered to the board with a ribbon cable (no connectors) with 4 lines marked as:
  • LED_B
  • LED_G
  • LED_R
  • LED_4R5 (VDD line)

External Conectors

Move controller connectors

USB connector

USB (Mini-B type) standard connector 5 pins

http://pinoutsguide.com/Slots/USB_pinout.shtml

Charging Station Pads

2 copper pads that are part of a little PCB with no traces that works as a support for the pads. Are soldered (no connectors) to the main board with 2 wires: black (ground) red (volts)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkPFKrlWWwk

• This pads are common and has the same size and position than the Move Navigation Controller

Extension Connector

Marked in the plastic as "ext" and refered as "extension connector" in the Move Sharp Shooter "Instruction Manual.pdf"

8 pins custom made ? (smaller than the Mini-B)

The connector is soldered in a "children board" identifyed as "connector board", is connected with the "main board" with a 12 traces ribbon cable (and 2 pressure connectors). Only 4 lines of the ribbon cable are used for data signals (each line is protected with a resistor and a diode in the children board) + 1 line that seems to be common and is much more wide (probably volts or ground). The other lines are not used.

• This connector is used to communicate with the Move Sharp Shooter gun. The buttons, trigger, etc... of this gun can send signals to the move controller

PSl1ght

PS3 homebrew support for move controller by faking the device as a wireless mouse, there is no support for native firmware move modules/functions (yet)

The PS Move API

Is a library to access the Sony Move Motion Controller via Bluetooth and USB directly from your PC (Linux, Mac OS X, Windows) without the need for a PS3. Mobile platforms are also supported (or planned): Support for MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan is already working, support for Android is in the works. The library is free software, released under a Simplified BSD License, so you can use it in both open source and proprietary closed-source applications, as long as you follow the license terms.

Move On PC

PS Move Motion Controller as input device on PCs and mobile devices May 2012: We are participating in the Google Summer of Code. We will keep you updated about our progress here. The old code base will be archived in the Downloads section soon, and we will base our future MoveOnPC work on Thomas Perl's "PS Move API" project, but add support for tracking and computer vision to the library.

D-Lite MoveCopter

"CopterControl bootloader" port for "Move controller"

Is a custom bootloader/firmware for the ARM STM32 microcontroller series. The installation is composed by the "bootloader" (move hardware specific, installed by JTAG) and the "flight firmware" (common for all STM32 microcontrollers, installed by USB)

The flight firmware is intended to stabilish a flying quadcopter using data from position sensors (like the gyroscopes and the 3-axis acelerometers in move)
