Game Input MultipleXer

I may look into getting a couple of USB amp meters to do some experiments. I will probably start by looking into how much power is being drawn by the DS4 controller from the Pi's USB port, because that will add to the overall power consumption of the RPi.

But i noticed a small drawback: When everthing is plugged as stated in my last post and i turn on PS4 then Pi starts as well (ok that's normal because it's powered by PS4). Now when PS4 has finished booting and i press the leftmost of the orange buttons on G27 (the PS-button) nothing happens :shock...

I was able to run this model directly from the PS4 usb port for power since this earlier model does not require much power to run. Hi cortega1 could you please explain me the wiring? i cant figure out how to make everything works with only 1 usb port. Now im currently using all the ports on the PS4...

@cortega Your video inspired me to make my own 'PiGimx' for using my good old G27 at my fairly new PS4. So..... let me say THX. Only i use the headless version + on-board UART. The Pi is powered via the 5V on the Teensy, which i put inside Pi's case. So my solution so far is simple and handy: [PS4]...

I was able to power a model B with a 700mhz single core, 256mb ram and 2 usb ports, from a usb port on my PS4 using an automated Raspberry Pi image made by Waveform (http://gimx.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1435). I was able to run this model directly from the PS4 usb port for power since this ...

I made a video of the RPi screen alongside the corresponding gameplay footage, for those who have been running the system headless.

When do you press the PS button on the wheel with the autostart working? Is there any delay to not get time-out or something?

You should be able to use the PS button after the wheel calibrates for the second time. I have not experienced a timeout.

Followed the AutoStart GIMX at Boot from the wiki : http://gimx.fr/wiki/index.php?title=RPi#Autostart_GIMX_at_boot_without_GUI ( and removed /home/pi/.config/autostart ) and all good! If @waveform isn't maintaining the image any more, I'd be happy to upload mine if required. I've also disabled the ...

You can use ssh on your smartphone to control raspberry, then you doesn't need monitor too. I had originally thought about SSH via my smartphone, but I don't want anything running other then the GIMX program if possible. With only a single core 700mhz cpu and 256mb of ram on the RPi I'm using, I wo...

I said it before in the other post and I'll say it again...

That is f'ing cool. I might need to try and replicate one of those. Maybe with longer cables so the switch is closer to my wheel.
