BTW, I noticed a lot of difference between using a PC and a Rpi with GIMX, especially about force feedback! The FF with PC is smooth and realistic, while the FF with Rpi is stronger but really "strange"... Same car, same track, in a straight line with the Rpi the wheel pushes on one side or the another, like the FF is locked to one side... and I noticed that while in that state, the Rpi is at 100% cpu usage...
Am I wrong with some settings?
I have a DFGT
I haven't really notice a difference in force feedback between either of the PC's I used or the RPi setup. I am using a G27 which the image was originally created for, so it could be something with the implementation of the DFGT..? Another difference could be that I do keep the FFB settings below 50% because I don't like the notchy feel of the helical gears in the G27. (I turn my T300 up a lot more
) I run my RPi headless so that it doesn't use any CPU cycles trying to process video (which for all I know it could be doing anyway...).
Originally I was planning to look into running an RPi image in terminal mode (no GUI for less cpu cycles) and writing an autostart program myself, but ran into Waveforms image before I got a chance to give that a try, and his image worked "out of the box" for me. You could look into running in terminal mode, if the image isn't already setup to do so. (I have not clue because I haven't had any type of monitor hooked up to my RPi since using Waveforms image)

I've just received my PI3 and I've "burn" the image to the SD. I've put it into the PI but nothing happens, there are two leds on the PI, one stays on and the other one blinks a few times.
There is no signal at the TV and even the Ethernet is enabled, no led for link status at the Ethernet connector.
Is the imaga compatible with the Pi3? Have I done something wrong?

This image probably won't work with your RPi3 since the new processor in it will most likely require the image to have a different kernel. You can just use one of the images provided by RPi.org (
hopefully @
https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/) and just add the file Waveform mentioned on the first page to the designated location.
here is is...

I created the following directory:
/home/pi/.config/autostart
I created a file called GIMX.desktop with Nano in the directory.
The contents of GIMX.desktop is:
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Name=GIMX
Comment=
Exec=gimx --nograb --config LogitechG27_G29.xml --port /dev/ttyUSB0
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Hidden=false
There is also a file called X11VNC.desktop in the autostart directory for VNC to run.
I'm a Linux Noob so I just used google for the info, but it works!
In the future I would like to create an automated image for using the G27 over Bluetooth, but I need to order a dongle with the CSR8510 chip first.
I am using a Model B Raspberry Pi which only has 2 USB ports, so i think using the bluetooth method would be much neater.

i will be using a raspberry PI version 1, with just the 2 USB slots.
so i know i have to plug the DS4 and G27 into this, so my question is how do you connect the PI to the DIY USB adapter as there will be no spare USB ports?
secondly, i am in the UK and it is hard to get hold of the teensy usb board as mentioned in the GIMX diy thread here
http://gimx.fr/wiki/index.php?title=DIY ... or_dummies
so what else can i use instead ?
thanks
You'll need a hub to connect at least two of the components to the RPi. The DS4 and G27 with be connected to the USB's on the RPi, like you mentioned. As far as your DIY adapter goes, you'll plug the USB 2.0 to UART end into the RPi, and the teensy (or alternative arduino) will be connected to a usb port on your PS4.
I'm in the US and just ordered mine from ebay, so you could always try to see if there is seller that ships to the UK. There is also a link to a site in the DIY adapter for dummies (
@
http://pjrc.com/store/teensy_pins.html), and when I checked out postal cost, it did have a dropdown for the United Kingdom, so you might be able to order from that site. I went with the Teensy 2.0, since it had everything needed, was the smallest option, and it seemed to be the most straight forward to setup in my opinion. Literally most of the steps it had me do were to get me used to how to set it up.
I know nothing about arduino, so I can't really help with that, but if you check out the GIMX wiki (
@
http://gimx.fr/wiki/index.php?title=DIY_USB_adapter), there is info under "3.2.1 Using the Arduino Builder tool" that should show you what you need to set it up for GIMX.
