Many newbie questions
Posted: Thu Mar 09, 2017 7:51 pm
Hello.
I have Logitech Driving Force Pro and want to use it with my PS4.
Also, I don't want to use PC and want to use my Raspberry Pi 3B board.
I studied GIMX wiki and tutorials but still have questions (there is many paragraphs, where info is somewhat opposite - like "DS4 should be wired permanently" and at other page "DS4 should be connected via bluetooth permanently").
Boards to buy (cheapest preferred, soldering is not a problem):
1. USB-UART board. Which is preferred - CP2102 or something else?
2. AVR USB board. Which one?
Simpliest one, like - http://www.ebay.com/itm/ATmega32u4-Micr ... 2266523158
Or (probably not this) - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leonardo-R3-Pro ... 2325158152
Connections:
3. Do I need additional power supply or some wiring to use DIY adapter with RPI3?
4. First, I need to flash AVR board once and pair it with my Dualshock 4 to create profile? Is this profile saved somewhere, so I can copy it and reuse (for example - from Windows to Raspbian).
5. Then I need to reflash board to emulate G29 permanently?
6. Do I need to use only bluetooth RPI3-DS4 connection or can use USB wired connection?
Misc:
7. When using PC why I need to install Logitech drivers? Driving Force Pro never had PC support. Are drivers necessary for GIMX? They don't needed for Ubuntu or Raspbian.
UPDATE:
After researching and searching for more info I found, that DS4 can be wired and no pairing required. It is correct?
Also, Pi can be used instead of UART board, but I still want to build full adapter, just in case if it will be used with PC.
My Pi is currently running as RetroPie, so I just need to run GIMX as service or somehow run it when necessary from Emulation Station menu.
