DIY USB adapter + EMUG29PS4 not working

Post by joe »

Hi Matlo. This Project is a great Idea.
Unfortunate EMUG29PS4 is not working with my ps4. I also tried EMUJOYSTICKPS3 with my PS3 and that is working fine , so I doubt
its a cabling issue because i did not change it , and the controller shoud be fine too.

I use win8 , installed USBSDK again manually , updatet to GIMX 5.5 , changed the G25 name in xml - but still have
the last problem :

ReadFile failed: timeout expired.
can't read packet header
No controller detected.
adapter_detect failed

Nevertheless check says config is fine.

I am using one of the arduino micro compatibel boards and programmed it via bootloader and avrdude (no errors)
Any Idea ?

Maybe baudrate is different and Windows wont switch CP2102 ? or MHZ is different for those two firmwares and
avrdude cant do this ? / arduino builder is not working at all on my old "programming only" athlon.

HI Matlo.
Looks like i am not allowed to do attachments.
But its one of these :


The real strange thing is the fact that PS3 and EMUJOYSTICKPS3 works well.

can i test something with a terminal programm like putti ? would windows detect a device if i connect the DIY back into USB
of the PC and send some kind of startcode via putty / CP2102 / TX ? which bytes at what baudrate ?

Thanks

People usually use a third-party image hosting provider and post the link.
With the EMUJOYSTICKPS3 firmware only a few bytes are received from the Teensy.

Hi Matlo
Thanks for this cool software.

I changed follwing things and succeded , still not know what was the main goal.

I had some experiments with applying power to the atmega. I was afraid of having power
from the rx/tx to the atmega - maybe no defined reset.

So I put a reset switch to the atmega and resetet the controller manualy.
I also noticed that ps4 was in soft turn off , powering the usb all the time - changed this.
on top used my powered usb hub instead of the non powered

log file now found the ps4tog29 adapter , so we are a step further.
but still no controller was detected on usb busses.
I removed the ds4 controller from the hub and used a otg cable on the other usb bus of my TF100
and this time it worked.

so g25 and cp2102 on same hub should coexist , ds4 shuld be on different bus.

had some trouble after a restart (cp2102 had removed from device manager when ps4
shut down because of inactivity).

Will have further trys and post results on what was the main goal.

Thanks
joe
