Win7 PS4 troubles

[axelotl]

Hello

I failed at the attempt to set up GIMX for my PS4.
I just dont know what I am doing wrong.

I bought:
Leonardo Pro Micro ATmega32U4 16MHz 5V Replace ATmega328 Arduino Pro Mini
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271660563707?var=570495675408
CP2102 Serial Converter USB 2.0 To TTL
http://www.ebay.com/itm/231074304644


I flashed the "atmega32u4.hex" onto Pro micro with avrdude with

Code: Select all

C:\arduino-1.0.5-r2\hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude -CC:\arduino-1.0.5-r2\hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf -v -v -v -v -patmega32u4 -cavr109 -P\\.\COM11 -b57600 -D -Uflash:w:C:\avrdude\atmega32u4.hex:i

should be ok i guess (no errors in the cmd at least i cant see one)

-> Atmega unplugged

Hooked up the Atmega with the CP2102
Atmega Tx -> CP2102 Rx
Atmega Rx -> CP2102 Tx
Atmega GND -> CP2102 GND

(Tx, Rx, GND are printed on the circuit boards so i doubt there is the error)

-> Ok then pluged in the DS4 in my PC
Used Zadig to replaced the windows driver with the libusbK driver
(it shows up as libusbK USB Device -> Wireless Controller in the Device Manager)


-> Next step was the CP2102.
Plugged it into my PC
Installed the "CP210x_VCP_Windows" driver

->Connected the Atmega via usb cable to left port on the PS4

-> Started the GIMX-Launcher
Output = DIY USB
Port = COM9 (checked with device manager to be sure that this is the CP)
Input = Physical devices
Config = I downloaded PS4_Battlefield4_foxy.xml
Mouse grab [x]
Output gui [x]

-> Pressed the PS button on the DS4
(nothing happens here the backlight on the controller is not active)

-> Started PS4

-> [Check] in the Gimx-launcher app
Info message:
joystick not found: Sony Computer Entertainment Wireless Controller (0)

->[Start]
A shell window pops up and closes (2seconds)



Question just to understand things better. Is it normal that I can't see the Atmega when i put it back into my pc (with the atmega32u4.hex on it ). To reflash it i need to pull the reset pin to gnd for a second then its possible to start avrdude again.


It would be absolutely awesome if you guys could help me with my problem.

It looks good.

Open a command window in the gimx installation directory and type the following command:

Code: Select all

gimx -p COM9 -c PS4_Battlefield4_foxy.xml

and post the output.

[axelotl]

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\GIMX>gimx -p COM9 -c PS4_Battlefield4_foxy.xml
option -p with value `COM9'
option -c with value `PS4_Battlefield4_foxy.xml'
Detected USB adapter: DS4.
using default refresh period: 10.00ms

After i Alt Tab a blinking cursor

I think i messed up something in the Config on the way.
When i use the Gimx-launcher and start with gui it seems to work



But nothing moves on the PS4 and when I try to Check I still get

[Matlo]

Did you try to press the PS button after starting GIMX?

[axelotl]

Yep i did.

Should the light on the DS4 be active? Or is completely dark ok?

[Matlo]

The light does not matter.
Do you see any reaction in the command window (Output>GUI checked) when you press the PS button?
Where did you download the firmware?
