GIMX - K/m not connecting with PS4

[foxy]

These are the steps I take (BT Dongle is a ASUS USB-BT400):

ubuntu@Ubuntu-pc:~$ cd GIMX/
ubuntu@Ubuntu-pc:~/GIMX$ sudo ./gimx-ps4-helper.sh
Unplug any Dualshock 4.
Unplug any teensy.
Unpug the bluetooth dongle.
Then press enter.

Plug the bluetooth dongle.
The bluetooth dongle address is AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA.
The bluetooth hci number is 0.
Plug the DS4 with a USB cable.
The DS4 address is BB:BB:BB:BB:BB:BB.
Unplug the DS4.
Plug the teensy.
Unplug the teensy.
Plug the teensy to the PS4, and wait a few seconds.
Then plug the teensy back to the PC.
The PS4 address is CC:CC:CC:CC:CC:CC.
Everything was successful: setting dongle link keys.
To run gimx, type:
gimx -t DS4 -c config.xml -h 0 -b CC:CC:CC:CC:CC:CC

At this point I switch off the PS4

ubuntu@Ubuntu-pc:~/GIMX$ sudo service bluetooth stop
bluetooth stop/waiting
ubuntu@Ubuntu-pc:~/GIMX$ sudo hciconfig hci0 up pscan
ubuntu@Ubuntu-pc:~/GIMX$ gimx -t DS4 -c PS3_Battlefield3_McKack.xml -h 0 -b CC:CC:CC:CC:CC:CC
option -t with value `DS4'
option -c with value `PS3_Battlefield3_McKack.xml'
option -h with value `0'
option -b with value `CC:CC:CC:CC:CC:CC'
using default refresh period: 10.00ms

Press PS button and the PS4 starts. K/M is not working on PS4 only the DS4 works.

With a few tries before this I also got this error but not any more:
Timer fired several times...

In some of my previous experiments to try and get it to work I cloned the DS4 address onto this BT dongle and then were able to send data to PS4 and this started the PS4 so the BT dongle can talk to the PS4

Press PS button and the PS4 starts. K/M is not working on PS4 only the DS4 works.

Does the DS4 send controls to the PS4?
At this point the DS4 is supposed to connect to the PC, not the PS4.

I cloned the DS4 address onto this BT dongle

Is the address of the dongle still the same as the address of the DS4?
If yes, you have to revert the address of the dongle.

Yes if i switch the ds4 on it starts the ps4 like normal and i can use it like normal. how do i know if the ds4 connects to the pc?

the address is not the same as die ds4 it is unique

[Matlo]

Yes if i switch the ds4 on it starts the ps4 like normal and i can use it like normal.

This means that either the pairing failed (very unlikely) or you wired the DS4 to the PS4 (i.e. paired the DS4 with the PS4).

before i made this screen dump i started again with the helper script and did not have the ds4 connected to ps4 with usb before, during and after. the ps4 was already on started with the ds4

[Matlo]

Make sure to turn off the DS4 before running the helper script.
And don't turn off the PS4 after running the helper script.

Ok did not work.

Here is what i did.

- Start PS4 with DS4 connected.
- Turned the DS4 off
- Run helper script
- Plug in BT dongle when asked, obtains address and I leave it plugged in
- Plug in DS4 to pc, light turns yellow (charging) and unplug when script tells me to. DS4 is still off and not connected to anything, it obtains DS4 address
- Plug in Teensy to PC
- Plug in Teensy to PS4
- Plug in Teensy to PC, obtain PS4 address and obtain the gimx line to execute
- Stop BT service
- Start BT service
- Run gimx line with changed configuration file

Displays all the "option" info

Then I press the PS button on the DS4 and the light blinks blue very quickly and goes off. I then press it again, the blue light comes one and stays on and then it gives the following error on ubuntu console: "no ps4/ds4 bdaddr found"

[Matlo]

Add "--status" to the command line and post the entire gimx command output.

At this point nothing happened when I pressed the PS button, led flashed blue for 10 or so seconds and nothing. Followed by few keystrokes to test, but nothing.

I've no idea about what's happening there. I've tested the script many times without any issue.

What Ubuntu version are you using?
