Please post the exact logs.

Hi, Matlo this is the logs with both config file.

option -l with value `log.txt'
option -c with value `LogitechG25_G29.xml'
option -p with value `COM3'
grab flag is unset
status flag is set
subpos flag is set
force_updates flag is set

On this one it doesn't detect the G25

Hi,
The issue here is that GIMX has no answer from the DIY USB adapter:

Code: Select all

ReadFile failed: timeout expired.
can't read packet header
No controller detected.
adapter_detect failed

Hi, I'd try everything but nothing change. Can't figure what the problem is. Could the cp fried?

[Matlo]

Hi,
You can test it following the instructions from the FAQ.

Hi, I've tested the cp with arduino software and all jumper cables and usb I have and it work perfectly. At this point it's a software/driver problem.

Hi, I did have the same issue - and I could resolve it by executing gimx as admin.

I don't really know why this solved the problem, but it worked.

Also the Arduino test helped, I think the IDE install also updated some drivers - before that test it didn't work as an admin either.

Whole thing does work fine now, as long as I start it as an admin. I'm using a rather old Laptop, but with Win 10 64. Adapter is a Teensy with CP2102. FT232 for some reason doesn't work properly.

Cheers,

Hi,
I have the same exact problem with the same exact error but my configuration is a little bit different.
I have checked the forum and there are other people with the same problem. So I posted here instead of opening another similar thread.

Hardware:
Samsung laptop X64 with 3 USB 2.0 ports
PlayStation 4 (first model 1000)
Dual shock 4
Logitech G27
Teensy++ 2.0 without solder
USB to serial Converter - the same of the DIY tutorial which mount CP2102 chip
Playstation 3 and 4 original usb cables

Software
Windows 7 64 bit
GIMX 5.5 for Windows 64bits
Teensy Loader
CP2102 Windows drivers
UsbDk_1.0.7_x64.msi
LogitechG27_G29.xml configuration file downloaded from the internet
Logitech drivers

then I have followed the guide for dummies and the "normal guide" without any positive results. The adaptor won't work and gives always the same error.

I want t to specify that I have checked the wire connection between all the components, switched usb ports among the devices and done a lot of attempts. I also never installed any gimx or related driver or software previously. I specify that because I think the problem is related on the software.
I have checked the USB to serial converter by connecting RX to TX and typing a text in the window from the arduino serial monitor
as specify in the FAQ
The teensy seems work correctly. I have programmed it with EmuG29PS4 with atmega32U4. No errors found. So I assume all is ok.

I tried to switch RX and TX but the result has not changed

Anyway I want to specify my repro steps just to be sure that no errors were made by me:

1st method
made connection between serial converter and teensy
connected the DIY adapter the PC
connected the G27 to the PC (auto calibration worked succesfully)
connected the DIY adapter to the PS4
Turned on the PS4 from the PS button on the pad and log into my profile
Turned off the Dual Shock 4
connected the Dual Shock 4 to the PC
started GIMX launcher.exe
Pressed the PS Button on the Dual Shock 4 (nothing seems to happen)
set up the lancher as follow:
Output: DIY USB
Port: CON16 port successfully recognized
Input: Physical device
config file: LogitechG27_G29.xml
message: log file
Grab Mouse: NO

The check button gives:
No errors and configuration seems working

last step: I press the Start button but nothing happens and the log appears.


I also did it in an alternative way:

made connection between serial converter and teensy
connected the DIY adapter the PC
connected the G27 to the PC (auto calibration worked succesfully)
connected duals shock 4 to the pc
connected the DIY adapter to the PS4
Turned on the PS4 from the button on the console
started GIMX launcher.exe
Pressed the PS Button on the Dual Shock 4 (nothing seems to happen)
set up the lancher as follow:
Output: DIY USB
Port: CON16 port successfully recognized
Input: Physical device
config file: LogitechG27_G29.xml
message: log file
Grab Mouse: NO

The check button gives:
No errors and configuration seems working

last step: I press the Start button but nothing happens and the log appears.

PLEASE HELP ME!!! I'm becoming crazy

Tried as administrator (privilege flag set into windows program properties under security tab). Nothing has changed. Anyway thanks for the advice

Here my log:

option -c with value `LogitechG27_G29.xml'
option -p with value `COM16'
grab flag is unset
status flag is set
subpos flag is set

ReadFile failed: timeout expired.
can't read packet header
No controller detected.
adapter_detect failed

OK . I made some progress by soldering the wires from the USB to Serial converter directly on the teensy.

Anyway It still doesn't work but the log has changed a lot.

I have opened a new thread here http://gimx.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1384
