Linux Bluetooth PS4 problem

[surfdargent]

Hello,

I tried for quite some time now to make gimx work with a usb dongle on my raspberry.
Everything is fine with the gimx-helper-script, dongle is recognized, DS4 too, teensy allows to get the PS4 address, all is fine...
Until I launch gimx.

Even just after stopping the bluetooth service, checking for any process that could be related to bluetooth, I get this output :

/usr/bin/gimx -t DS4 -c LogitechG25_G29.xml -h 0 -b 60:5B:B4:97:F7:28
controller #1: option -t with value `DS4'
global option -c with value `LogitechG25_G29.xml'
controller #1: option -h with value `0'
controller #1: option -b with value `60:5B:B4:97:F7:28'
now reading arguments for controller #2
native mode is already enabled for HID device 01:01:03 (PID=c299)
using default refresh period: 10.00ms
bind: Address already device use
please stop the bluetooth service
adapter_start failed

Any hint that could help ?

Thanks

Hi,
Did you stop the bluetooth service?

PS:
I can see in the log that you have a G25 plugged in. Over bluetooth, only a Dualshock 4 can be emulated, which means you won't get any force feedback using this method.

Yes, I stopped the service.
Finally I discovered that even if I stopped the gimx service I created, it was relaunched agin automatically so I had 2 instances of gimx when testing from command line.
I noticed the limitations of the bluetooth way.
I switched to the cabled one that seems to work well. I tested it only a few minutes in DriveClub.
Thanks

The following command line allows to disable the bluetooth service:

Code: Select all

sudo update-rc.d bluetooth disable && sudo reboot
