Cant get raspberry pi to work

[steel_3d]

My setup works fine with gimx on pc with diy adapter. PS4 recognizes my G27 and everything's fine.

However, I can't get the rpi 3 to work. I'm quite sure everything is set up and connected correctly. But gimx just hangs after some error messages.

Shell log below:

----------

## Only the wheel and ds4 plugged in, no diy adapter:

Any ideas? I appreciate you help!

All that time wasted, and apparently I just needed to update raspbian! Even though I have a few month old raspbian image. WTF??
For future reference to others, don't skip these steps when setting up your OS!

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install rpi-update
sudo rpi-update
sudo reboot

Problem solved.

It would be nice if the wiki called out the update as a necessary step rather than optional.
