If you selected a wrong controller type, the only way to make it work again is to stop emuclient and unplug/replug the teensy.

Select Output>GUI, start emuclient and see if the inputs are correctly detected.

The GUI is showing correct inputs. Mouse inputs still does something. Movement of the mouse moves the cursor plus a few erractic inputs such as X and O's

Seems its in the hardware? I installed the x86 CP210x drivers...

I just reinstalled the EMUPS3 firmware and set it to sixaxis to try it again. When I do this the light flashes on the teensy when emuclient is active and the GUI shows correct inputs but nothing on ps3. When emuclient is closed the light remains on without flashing. Does this mean anything? It doesn't do this when I use the 0.23 firmwares and for both I use the atmega32u4 hex file.

The light is fine. It flashes when data is received.

Did you try to press the PS button?

Did you try to connect a real sixaxis, and see if it gets 2 as controller number?

PS button does nothing but it registers on GUI as being pressed. Turning on a real six axis pad goes to controller 2!

Maybe the USB to serial adapter is broken.

You can test it as explained there: http://gimx.fr/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ ... adapter.3F

tried the test. As I read it I connected up the TX and RX via single cable and the test failed. Ordered a new converter so will post back with results.

New serial arrived. Same situation. It does the exact same thing.

I redone the serial test and I worked out that I misintepreted the results of the first serial. That works correctly. I thought the text transferred to the main programme box and not the text box below the send input box. Both serials that I have transmit the text while configured as per that wiki guide.

I tried changing the COM port but still same result. At a loss as to what it could be! the teensy board? I changed all the cables incase one was faulty but this didn't help.

Is there anything I can do to test the teensy?

p.s. I dusted down an old XP system, intalled all the software on that, tried it, same problem. So can't be system related.

I think you have to use the Edit>Replace mouse/keyboard tools in gimx-config. Your mouse and your keyboard most probably don't have the same name in Linux and Windows. I can't believe I missed that...

Don't worry - I had already changed them over - otherwise they wouldn't have showed correct inputs during the GUI test? In linux both devices are named after their product name. In Win7 after changing both of them are "HID Compliant device"

Tried everything - can only be the teensy? anyway to tell if I have the correct board or test its function?

Ok. Did you try the USB adapter with Ubuntu? This would tell us if there is something wrong with Windows or not.
