I have a little problem running this. Trying to emulate my DrivingForce GT as G29 for PS4.

Here are steps that I made till now:
- Got the CP2104 UART
- Got the Leonardo Pro Micro ATmega32U4 (Arduino Bootloader IDE 1.0.3)
- Connected those two together (RX, TX and GND)
- Programed the ATmega with "Firmwares-5.8/EMUG29PS4/atmega32u4.hex"
- Coneccted ATmega board to PS4, CP2104 board to PC
- Run Gimx-launcher
- my setup:

It doesn't see my DrivingForce GT wheel when I go to Check, I get message "joystick not found: Driving Force GT (0)"
Did try wheel on PC, works without any problem and in Game Controllers it is seen as Driving Force GT USB joypad (for example Assetto Corsa sees it and it works normal)

And when I go to Start I get this:

Code: Select all

global option -l with value `log.txt'
global option -c with value `LogitechDrivingForceGT_G29_W10.xml'
controller #1: option -p with value `COM3'
now reading arguments for controller #2
status flag is set
subpos flag is set
force_updates flag is set
GIMX 5.8 x86_64
Windows 10 (or later) x64
Kernel version: 10.0 (10586)
native mode is already enabled for HID device \\?\hid#vid_046d&pid_c29a#6&2bdb8551&1&0000#{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030} (PID=c29a)
ReadFile failed: timeout expired.
can't read packet header
No controller detected.
adapter_detect failed

Any help for a newbee, thanks in advance

Hi,

Regarding the config issue, did you install the Logitech Gaming Software?
http://gimx.fr/wiki/index.php?title=Logitech_Wheels

The error in the log usually happens with an incorrect wiring or a faulty USB cable.

If a wiring is not good, how was I able to successfully program mcu?
I can try to swap TX and RX between CP2104 and ATmega, but will it hurt mcu or something?

Both cables used are new and are working, so just in case, I did try with other cables, same happens.

Regarding LGS I did use one shown in that link.

Should I still be using same config? Since I am running Win10 64bit...

Cheers...

The MCU is not programmed over serial. Having a serial port connected triggers the USB bootloader when the AVR USB board is plugged.

For further help, please post a clear photo showing the wiring.

...first, I changed to LogitechDrivingForceGT_G29.xml instead of Win10 version, since that xml has USB in the name of the controller, the Win10 didn't have...
And as you said, I did TX>TX, RX>RX, so I switched them to TX>RX, RX>TX and now it is working without any problems.

Thanks, and cheers...
