PS3 Controller pairing not working correctly about joustmania HOT 4 CLOSED

Found the culprit! it's bluez version 5.66!!
after installing version 5.62 using these instructions: https://scribles.net/updating-bluez-on-raspberry-pi-from-5-43-to-5-50/
I was able to get the controllers pairing and working with the pi again.
Note I also installed the older bluez as well using sudo apt-get remove bluez first

After testing a few more versions I should be able to include an update in the setup.sh to remedy this issue and back install a version

Seems related to this open issue:
thp/psmoveapi#489

from joustmania.

Just tested with the updated Debian 11 (bullseye) and it is still having issues, though it connects with the PS4 controller correctly!

fixed in latest commit: 03927d8

setup.sh now uninstalls the latest bluez and installs version 5.65 (the latest tested with working ps3 controllers)
if you only have ps4 controllers and would like to use the latest bluez you can add on to setup.sh --ps4_only as shown in the readme.
