This is required to prevent Windows from turning off the controller or the USB to UART adapter.
If you own a logitech wheel you need to install the [http://www.logitech.com/pub/techsupport/joystick/lgs510.exe 32-bit LGS] on a 32-bit Windows, or the [http://www.logitech.com/pub/techsupport/joystick/lgs510_x64.exe 64-bit LGS] on a 64-bit Windows.
 
 
 
This should install the Logitech driver and make the wheel work in native mode.
 
  
On GNU/Linux there is no need to install any driver or software.

If you haven't connected your adapter to the computer before you need to do it now:

* Connect '''AVR board''' (blue board) to the '''computer'''
{{#ifeq:{{{platform|}}}|xboxone|====Install the libusbk driver (Xbox One only)====
+
* Connect '''UART converter''' (the other side) also to the '''computer'''
  
It is required to replace the stock controller driver with the libusbk driver.

This prevents Windows from making any request to the controller.

Now you can disable power saving:
 
 
This can easily be done using [http://zadig.akeo.ie/ Zadig]:
 
* choose "Options->List All Devices"
 
* select the right device:

<tr>
 
<td> Xbox One    </td>
 
<td> "Controller" </td>
 
<td> 045E:02D1
 
</td></tr></table>
 
* select "libusbK" as target driver
 
* click on the drop down menu, and select "Install Driver"
 
* click on "Replace Driver"

Now, as you did previous steps you can proceed to installation of the GIMX software itself. Depending on architecture of your system choose correct package.
+
Depending on your Windows version download the correct package:
+
* [https://gimx.fr/download/gimx-windows-32bits 32-bit setup], for any x86 Windows
* [https://gimx.fr/download/gimx-windows-32bits 32-bit setup], for 32-bit Windows only
+
* [https://gimx.fr/download/gimx-windows-64bits 64-bit setup], for x86 64-bit Windows only
* [https://gimx.fr/download/gimx-windows-64bits 64-bit setup], for 64-bit Windows only
+
If you are unsure about your Windows version look for the "System type" in the System properties.<br />
And install GIMX software.
+
Double-click on the downloaded file and proceed with the installation.

Depending on architecture of your system choose correct package.

* Downloard the .deb file: [http://gimx.fr/download/gimx-ubuntu-32bits 32bits] or [http://gimx.fr/download/gimx-ubuntu-64bits 64bits]
 +
* Install it (double click, then install).|}}
  
The setup file includes the following installers:
+
{{#ifeq:{{{device|}}}|SteeringWheel|
* '''CP210x driver''' - required when using a '''CP2102''' USB to UART adapter
+
{{#switch:{{{ostype|}}}
* '''USBDK driver''' - required when using a console that needs controller authentication

Thanks to automated installation of USB and UART drivers in GIMX setup you don't need to find and install them manually, the setup will take care of it for you. If you however, wish to do it the "old" way you can uncheck auto-installation of these at the end of the setup program.

 +
Install either the [https://gimx.fr/download/LGS64 64-bit version] or the [https://gimx.fr/download/LGS32 32-bit version] on the target computer, depending on the Windows version running on it.
 +
  | #default = ==(Logitech wheels only) Install Logitech Gaming Software (LGS)==
 +
If you plan using a Logitech wheel and did not have installed LGS, just plug your wheel and start gimx-launcher. It will detect the wheel and propose you to install LGS (since GIMX 7.3).

GIMX applies a Xorg configuration to prevent the wheel from controlling the mouse. To apply this configuration, just close your session and open a new one.
