Since we covered the PS4 Gentoo Linux Installation Guide, developer ArturSpirin shared pyPS4Controller on Github which is a light module designed to provide hooks for PlayStation 4 Controllers in homebrew development projects using Python with Raspberry Pi devices or on other Linux machines.
Automatically by running py3ps4c init (if you are using python3) or py2ps4c init (if you are using python2) in your terminal.
(Optional) connect your controller directly to the computer's Bluetooth module. Once successful, disconnect the controller. If you don't do this, in the next step you may see this error: Unable to connect to detected device: Failed to set operational mode: [Errno 107] Transport endpoint is not connected
Now start sudo ds4drv and press SHARE + PS4 button on your controller. If pairing fails, you want to try in again, it should eventually connect.
Copy the code bellow to a file, say test.py
Run it python test.py
Use your controller.
Adjust logic in the code and integrate it with your RC needs!
From pyPS4Controller.controller import Controller:
Code:
class MyController(Controller): # create a custom class for your controller and subclass Controller
"""
If we want to bind an action to the X button on the controller, we need to override its respective methods.
Some of the buttons have a binary On/Off state. For example the X, Circle, Square, and Triangle buttons.
When overriding their respective methods there are...
#!/usr/bin/env python

# This script will enumerate and print out in the console all of the eventhandler_register names
# so you can use them in your own kernel scripts

Ahh, another great classic is coming to PlayStation 4 next week on January 29th... the action puzzle masterpiece Lode Runner Legacy by Tozai Games complete with a local multiplayer mode is among the new PS4 game releases that will be joining PSN. 🕹
I remember playing Lode Runner for countless hours back in the Commodore C-64 / C-128 days back when it was made by Broderbund Software, Inc.
Check out a video from the oldskool version alongside a Lode Runner Legacy PS4 trailer demo video below, and here's what else is heading to PlayStation 4 next week courtesy of Sony Interactive Entertainment Content Communications Manager Justin Massongill:

According to rumors based on a recent patent from Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) uncovered at the USPTO, the upcoming PlayStation 5 next-gen console may feature a reworked game invite system potentially with picture-in-picture functionality allowing players to invite you into a game by launching it as a PS5 background process.
To quote from RespawnFirst.com on the summary of their latest find: "Here are some key points from the full document.
Launching occurs without user intervention at the invitee computer device
Invitee console will show a gaming session launch window associated with the launching, based on the invitation
Invitee console will display the window as a picture-in-picture if other game processes or apps are running
The game will launch as a background process
Launching is occurring automatically with one or more applications are running in the foreground on invitee computing device
And from the patent, to quote: "Systems and methods for establishing a multiplayer gaming session are provided.
A method can include selecting at least one invitee computing device from a plurality of invitee computing devices to join the multiplayer gaming session and a game from a list of games for the multiplayer gaming session.
