G29 Emulation via Bluetooth/Raspbian (using DFGT)

Post by sigma722 »

Hey Matlo -

I just got my raspberry pi setup, and have been troubleshooting for a while, and may have just realized that G29 emulation isn't possible at this point over bluetooth?

Is that still the case? Is support for that coming soon by chance? If not, I will likely have to order the extra part for the diy usb. I guess when I was reading before it seemed like everything worked the same for linux/bluetooth, unless it's just a raspbian issue?

Hi,
The G29 works over USB, which means emulating a G29 can only be done over USB...
The main page of the wiki is very clear about the capabilities of each connection method:

Yeah after all was said and done, I figured I had probably goofed and missed something big. I'll likely order the last part to make an adapter.

Currently, there are no plans to implement it over bluetooth though? Thanks for the quick response!

No. Bluetooth and USB are very different.
