Bluetooth setup - ps4 controller

[Drahngis]

Hi.

i'm trying to set up my Playstation 4 controller on my Raspberry pi 3 with Bluetooth.

I'm rather new to raspberry pi, so i've tried googling my way to finding out how to do it but i've got some problems.

When I write " Bluetoothctl " it works and I get in it, but I can't write anything at all..all I can do is press CTRL+C to leave it.

When I type " Systemctl start bluetooth" it says : Failed to start bluetooth.service:Access denied.

When I type " systemctl status bluetooth" it says:

Bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
Loaded (/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service:enabled)
Active: Failed (result: exit-code)
Docs: man:bluetoothd(8)
Process: 2102 ExecStart=/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd (code=exited, status=203/exec)
Main PID: 2102 (code= exited, status=203/exec

when I type " sudo systemctl start bluetooth" it says:

Job for bluetooth.service failed. See "Systemctl status bluetooth.service' and 'journalctl -xm' for details

I can can type "hcitool scan" and find my PS4 controller.

I'm very sure i've updated all I can.

I would appreciate any help I can get

EDIT : - I use Retropie

Had a look at this...?

The first step is to get the Bluetooth daemon running. I'm not familiar with Retropie, perhaps it needs updating for the onboard Bluetooth.

Any luck with this Drahngis? I've just ordered my first pi and have opted for the new one. I plan to install Retropie and use my PS4 controller also. When it comes to programming I'm a total beginner! Zero experience!

Hi did you solve this? I have the exact same problem with my pi3 and retropi.

I have the same problem this morning. Any solution yet? Is it a bug?
