I built the DIY USB adapter, installed the GIMX software and flashed the device. The firmware was installed successfully and I connected the adapter to both the console (PS4) and the computer (following the guide on your website). Then I plugged the PS4 controller into my computer (the controller was turned off).
I selected a profile (PS4_Battlefield1_Godlike) and the check was okay (just the Info 'A device name is empty. Multiple mice and keyboards are not managed.'.
Problem:
When I hit 'start' there is no error message whatsoever, but I can hear the sound on my pc that a USB device is removed.
When I press the button on my keyboard (backspace in this case) for the PS-button, nothing on my PS4 happens. When I exit the capturing, I can hear the sound that a USB device is plugged in again.
The log shows that the PS-button is pressed, but nothing happens on the playstation.
I tried:
- using different USB-cables, both connections (adapter -> PS4, as well as computer -> controller)
- reinstalling the GIMX software
- making sure everything is connected/wired properly
- using different profiles
- pressing the button for several seconds
- updating/reflashing the microcontroller
- restarting the computer after installing the software
More information:
- The pins are soldered properly to the board.
- GIMX software is up-to-date
- PS4 controller is one of the first generation, I tried a brand new one as well
Thank you in advance
