    Quick Reference

    Once you have successfully installed the package and are comfortable with the pairing and connection process you can eliminate all the debugging steps.

    Here is a quick reference for the pairing and connection process.

    Bluetooth Paring (only if you need to re-pair with Ubuntu)

    (connect controller with USB cable)
    $ sudo ./sixpair
    (disconnect controller from USB cable)

    Initiate Connection

    $ sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop
    $ sudo hidd --server --nocheck -n
    (press the PS button on controller to connect)
    (terminate hidd Ctrl+C)
    $ sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start

    Terminate Connection

    $ sudo hidd --unplug 00:16:FE:D7:8C:XX
