Problem with PS4 BT

[Five_Finger_Discount]

To start with this system, gimx install, etc worked perfectly with a ps3. Now I am trying to get a ps4 working and it is not cooperating.

Bus 002 Device 014: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

Adapter is a Arduino Micro. Pairing appears to have worked. I have a ~/.gimx/bluetooth with linkkeys. I received no error. Firmware from the ps4 wikipage.

I start gimx and it appears to work however the ps4 never recognizes a controller present. I have tried with my ds4 on and off, plugged into my desktop or not.

I downloaded some configs for the ps4 thinking maybe my config needed to be altered but that did not help.

I am unsure where to look to diagnose this issue.

Hi,
Did you press on the PS button of the Dualshock 4 that you used for the pairing?
It is required to have a dedicated Dualshock 4 for authentication purposes.
If you used this Dualshock 4 with your PS4 after the GIMX pairing, then you'll have to use the repair tool (New/Repair, then repair).

[Five_Finger_Discount]

I will repair tonight after work. I was not aware that each time the ds4 was used repairing was required.

[Five_Finger_Discount]

I had a few minutes this morning.

* With ds4 connected to my desktop I clicked new/repair.
* got success message
* pressed ps button on keyboard - no response
* turned ps4 on
* pressed ps button on keyboard - no response

I have pressed nothing on the ds4.

What should I look for next?
If nothing else i will delete linkkeys and start over with my arduino micro.

thanks,

[Matlo]

I have pressed nothing on the ds4.

Press on the PS button of the Dualshock 4. It will power up and connect to GIMX through the BT dongle.

[Five_Finger_Discount]

Apparently the DS4 got hung. Pressing the PS button did nothing until I disconnected it from the PC and plugged it back in. I do not know if this is some tweaked version they came out with recently or not (ps4 is maybe a year old I forget).

Unsure why, but disconnecting the DS4/reconnecting was the magic to get it to work. It does appear to work now.


Thanks.

You actually have to unplug the DS4. The connection with the DS4 is made over bluetooth.
