Re: Easy Automated Raspbian Image for using G27 as G29 with

Okay so I powered the PI from my IPad Air charger today and it still worked after 8 minutes, so maybe it was the fact I had the everything plugged into the USB hub connected to the PI that caused the issue? My advice would be to only have the G27, DS4 and USB Serial Converter connected to the PI and...

Yes that is worth a shot!
User888 Try powering the PI from the PS4's USB port instead and see if the issue goes away.

Thanks for the tip about multiple wheel configurations, I might update the Image with them.

Re: Easy Automated Raspbian Image for using G27 as G29 with

Woohoo! I managed to fix the disconnecting issue thanks to your post cortega1! I am using the Raspberry Pi 1 Model B by the way. This time I had the Raspberry Pi power cable directly plugged into one of the ports on the PS4, and the Atmega micro controller plugged into the other PS4 port. The g27 is...

Re: Easy Automated Raspbian Image for using G27 as G29 with

I have been using the original image you posted, and the game during last nights 8+ (30-45) minutes of being connected was Project Cars (if the game makes any difference). I'll try 8+ sessions with Project Cars and Driveclub to see if either games makes a difference. Thanks cortega, the disconnects...

Re: Easy Automated Raspbian Image for using G27 as G29 with

Thanks Waveform for posting that RPi image. I was able to just load the image to an sd card and run my raspberry pi headless with my g27 using the DIY usb adapter with no issues. You're welcome. Have you tried using it for longer than 8 minutes? Mine disconnects and possibly GIMX crashes after abou...

Hi there, Which country are you from and I can show you which parts to get. Is ebay okay?
