Install and run PuTTY, select 'Serial' underneath 'Connection Type' and select the correct COM port that the Arduino is on. PuTTY is a tool that facilitates many types of terminal communication, such as serial communication, a fairly simple protocol. This connection is primarily used to upload compiled code directly onto the Arduino, but it can also be used to display output information as it happens on the board. The Arduino creates a serial communication connection to communicate with the host computer. If you run into any compatibility issues use Google to find an OS-specific solution, I promise they all exist. All of the following is possible with very little extra work in both Mac and Linux. For any software-related steps, I will be assuming that you're using a Windows PC, for simplicity. This USB connection provides both power and serial communication to the board. Connect the Arduino to a computer via the USB B port on the chip. Computer with USB port - The Arduino requires another computer to write programs for it and a serial connection to write to the Arduino board. The controller charges with a micro USB cable, so it is also possible to use the controller in a wired fashion with the board, but we're interested in the wireless capability. With the USB Host Shield libraries, we have full access to the controller's many buttons, joysticks, triggers, gyroscopes, accelerometers, and LED. DualShock 4 controller - This controller works via a Bluetooth connection with a PlayStation 4 video game console by Sony. USB Bluetooth dongle - There is a list of Bluetooth dongles that are compatible with the USB Host Shield, many of them very small and cheap. Found here, the USB Host Shield fits right on top of the Ardiono Uno and provides support for many USB devices. Arduino Uno - Microcontroller board that allows a user to run their own custom firmware.

Here is all the hardware you'll need to control your Arduino with a DualShock 4 controller: 1.
