command line - can't connect (usb)

[ghury1]

Hello,

I am trying to control my ps3 through the terminal ( or ssh ).
I tested it through the launcher. And that all works perfect.

I have a Raspberry pi with Raspbian. and an sitecom bluetooth 4.0 usb adapter.

Here is some documentation for using GIMX through the command line: http://gimx.fr/wiki/index.php?title=Command_line

So i run this command: gimx -p /dev/ttyUSB0 --event "cross(255)"
but it doesn't connect.

when i use /dev/tty1 for example. it says connected but no controller detected.
So i guess i am using the wrong path.

But how can i find mine?

Thank you in advance.

or any other idea how to send controls through the terminal/ssh?

Hello,

The problem with the bluetooth method is that the connection establishment takes a few seconds.
You can try the remote connection options.
Run a gimx instance acting as a server:

Code: Select all

gimx --src 127.0.0.1:51914 --type Sixaxis --bdaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

Replace XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX with your PS3 address.
Send commands using a gimx instance acting as a client:

Code: Select all

gimx --dst 127.0.0.1:51914 --event "cross(255)"

Thank you! that worked. but when i try for example:
gimx --dst 127.0.0.2:51914 --event "left(255)"

Then it goes all the end to left. like 10 times ( in the main menu (
How do i prevent that? so it does just do one time left. I've tried playing with the values but ain't working for me.

Thank you in advance.

Just execute the following command to release the button:

Code: Select all

gimx --dst 127.0.0.2:51914 --event "left(0)"

And make sure to wait enough time between the two commands so that the input isn't missed.

oh yhea ofcourse, 255 just is keydown and 0 releases it.

this worked for me: gimx --dst 127.0.0.1:51914 --event "left(255)"; sleep 0.1; gimx --dst 127.0.0.1:51914 --event "left(0)"

Thank you very much! Will consider to donate some money.
