Not Sending Input to Xbox One S

Post by remarkableTrade »

I am running GIMX on raspberry pi 4 and tried to send an input (press B button) from the command line, but nothing happens on the Xbox. I've tried with both controller 1537 and 1708 on the correct firmwares. I've also tried as if I was going to use a mouse and keyboard but when it prompts to "Press the guide button of the controller for 2 seconds." and I do, nothing happens. Anyone have any suggestions?

Here are my traces:

Send input via command line:
~/GIMX $ gimx --event "abs_axis_9(255)" --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --status
controller #1: option -e with value `abs_axis_9(255)'
controller #1: option -p with value `/dev/ttyUSB0'
now reading arguments for controller #2
status flag is set
GIMX adapter detected, controller type is: XOnePad.
Firmware version: 8.0
Reset sent to the GIMX adapter.

The --event argument may require running two gimx instances.
Press the guide button of the controller for 2 seconds.
