Hi all,
i'm trying to get my PI2 running with GIMX (i'm using 6.5) and facing exactly the same issues like "desato" and "dermax93".
After a few minutes my steering wheel G27 "turns off" (ffb not available and no steering possible) and starts blinking.
I'm tried to use different USB-Cables, different power supplies and have an active USB-Hub installed.
This is maybe my 5th try to keep it running. (My last attempt was 4-5 month ago)
As the both guys faced on their end - with a PC & GIMX everything runs smoothly and without issues.
It's a fresh installation of Jessi Pixel via Noobs.
No clue how "desato" got it running, but it seems it not depends on the 6.4 version, due to i'm facing this issue with the 6.5.
Any other ideas on that?
Thanks & Best regards,

I promise I did nothing more than install Jessy, downloaded from raspberry web page. Then I installed GIMX 6.4 with these commands.5nchaos wrote: ↑Wed Apr 05, 2017 6:23 pm Hi all,

wget https://gimx.fr/download/gimx-raspbian -O gimx.deb
sudo dpkg -i gimx.deb
sudo apt-get -f install
I didn’t ipdate nothing more, just that. Then I create the service as It’s indicated.
I’m using the same USB cables, the same Rpi, the same G27, the same power supply (3A), no USB hub, nothing has changed, but it works.
This is the image that I'm using on my RPi3

VNC and SSH enabled, default pass and GIMX 6.4 starts at boot.
Hope this will help you.

Hi,
Try downgrading the firmware:

Short Update:
With the firmware downgrade it is running much better, but not perfect - sometimes i can play hours without an outage and sometimes only a few minutes...

Same here, but it fails only once every 20 times or more, so I don't worry, I restart the Pi and back to action.
Re: Raspberry Pi3 + DIY USB + G27=Perfect only for a few minutes
Someone in another thread suggested adding the "--force-updates" to the gimx command line.
I think it is worth trying it.

Hi all,
unfortunately no progress on this with the mentioned option "--force-updates".
I've still the problem, that (as mentioned - regular but not always) after a few minutes the environment stops working.
I switched back to use my laptop with gimx, due to the stability issues with the PI solution.
