Win7 + G27 + DIY + PS4

Post by Jinobi »

Welp, just like my intro thread said, I will be posting my issues :( (Was hoping I would get it done without any hassle)

So, followed the dummies guide...

PC > (Mini USB board > Teensy board) > PS4
G27 > PC
DS4 > PC

Log:
option -l with value `log.txt'
option -c with value `LogitechG27_G29.xml'
option -p with value `COM5'
status flag is set
subpos flag is set
force_updates flag is set
native mode is already enabled for HID device \\?\hid#vid_046d&pid_c29b#7&1c056dc9&0&0000#{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030} (PID=c29b)
ReadFile failed: timeout expired.
can't read packet header
No controller detected.
adapter_detect failed

I was reading some other posts by other G27 users and now I am lost in all the solutions and fixes, I dunno where I am at now. :(
Wanted to get a screenshot of my devices and stuff but I had to take keyboard out when I had it all plugged in as I run out of USB slots lol.
I can probably manage this if it helps tho.

Please man, I feel like I am so close to getting this to work after all this anticipation. Can you help me out?

Looks like a wiring issue. Try to swap Rx and Tx. If it doesn't help, post a clear photo showing the wiring.

I tried swapping the Yellow/Red but it showed the exact same log.
I don't have the same colour of wires so I tagged them with a bit of coloured electrical tape.

It is hard to distinguish the purple/grey wire on the teensy pics

Looking at the picture, it is

Purple (into D3) - Grey (Into D2) and Blue (into GND)

Grey is my "yellow wire"
Purple is my "Red wire"
Blue is my "Green wire"

Typical I get different coloured wires just to make life more confusing :p

Ok GOT IT WORKING XD

lots of uninstalling and re-installing and inevitably the wire swap did the trick!

But...new issue. The G27 randomly stopped working on my first test.
Just like this guy posted here: http://gimx.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5& ... 7837#p7837

Is there a known way to stop this?
(AWESOME device and software! Thank you very much)

Please enable logging to a file, start GIMX and reproduce the issue, and post the log.

Also I received this today: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FTDI-FT232RL- ... Sw-jhUGnn~

I was looking at a thread with a similar problem and you mentioned the FT232RL.
Can this be used as a replacement for the CP2102?

(I didnt realise it came with a female micro usb instead of the male ordinary usb like the CP2102 version. Made me think I got the wrong thing)
