I am setting up an emulation box and am hoping to use these instructions to be able to use a PS3 six-axis controller.
The dongle works fine on my main PC, I can pair, scan, etc.
I have Raspbian installed on an external HDD and cmndline.txt points at /dev/sda1.
My problem is that the Bluetooth dongle is softblocked, and attempting to unblock it doesn't work.
The Terminus hub is the 7 port job from Pi Hut. Whether the dongle is plugged directly into the SMSC95XX's usb ports or the Terminus makes no difference.

How do I un-softblock my controller?
