I have given up on using a PS3 controller with the Arduino boards, I think that someone will be able to do it, but I don't have the time as I am studying for my A-levels.
I did however come across this video which showed Bluetooth connectivity between a 3D printer and a computer instead of using a cable.
Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yx5kp7M7CE
I might try this at some later date.

I2C UNO and MEGA for RepRap Prusa i2 control using PS3 controller.
For the last couple of weeks I have been trying to connect a PS3 controller to my i2 however it hasn't been going as well as I though it would.
I thought that using an UNO with the USB Host Shield would be able to communicate with the Mega through I2C and then send G-code to the printer when buttons are pressed on the controller.
However I am unable to get I2C communication at all, I have tried a few tutorials to no avail, I can get basic sketches to work with the Uno and Mega without Ramps 1.4 attached, but when I but the Ramps board on and use the I2C pins on that, nothing happens.
I have tried setting the Uno slave and Mega Master and vise versa but this still doesn't help.
If anyone has any ideas please leave a comment.

PS3 controlling RepRap Prusa i2 using UNO and I2C
I am still trying to connect my i2 to a PS3 controller and this time, instead of using the mega to attach the USB host Shield to, I will try to use and Arduino Uno instead and send which buttons are pressed to the mega through the I2C.
This way I avoid having to use the Mega's inaccessible ICSP pins.
If this doesn't work i may try doing it through Bluetooth.

PS3 controller with 3D RepRap Prusa i2
I am currently trying to control my i2 using a PS3 controller. I have bought one of these and I plan on trying to connect it to the Mega with the un-used pins and then when a button is pressed G-code of your choice is written to the serial line for your printer to execute.
To test the USB host shield I followed this tutorial - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3vXTX6Qe54
This shows you that when a button is pressed it prints that button to the serial monitor. I just used a Uno with nothing else attached.
The board also worked great with a Mega, however I could get it to work when the Ramps 1.4 shield was also attached. This was because I couldn't get access to the 6 ICSP header pins in the middle of the Mega. I wasn't will to solder wires to these headers and so despite trying to find another way I couldn't.
If anyone could help me I would be very grateful as I think it would be great.
