This software is a modified version of bdremote, which is a driver for Linux that enables the use of a PlayStation 3 remote on the operating system.
I recently tried out the bdremote-ng project and was pleasantly surprised with the results. The software is designed to convert input from a PS3 bluetooth remote into something that can be transmitted to LIRC, and it does this job extremely well.
The version I used was 0.2, which served as a solid foundation for the improvements made in the most recent version. In particular, the software has been made more portable and easier to read and understand, which is always appreciated.
Perhaps the most useful addition, however, is the enhanced debugging capabilities. This makes it much easier to troubleshoot issues that may arise due to bluetooth stack or user configuration problems, which can be a helpful feature for users with varying levels of technical expertise.
Overall, I was very impressed with the functionality and ease of use of bdremote-ng. It's a great option for anyone who wants to use their PS3 bluetooth remote with LIRC without any hassle.
