Config not auto-detecting all buttons on bluetooth wheel
Posted: Wed May 25, 2022 8:00 pm
When going through the Gimx-launcher and creating a new config for a specific racing wheel (SimRacingCoach wireless panel), not all of the button presses are being captured through the auto detect functionality. 4 buttons and the shifters are not being detected, while the remaining 4 buttons and both of the rotaries (encoder function as well as push button) are being captured within the config editor. This wheel operates via Bluetooth.
In Windows and in all of the PC sims I've tested with (iRacing, ACC, AC, AMS2), all of the buttons are functioning properly. The wheel is connected through a TP-Link UB400 dongle.
Windows is showing it as an installed game controller named RNi Joystick, but when the specific buttons are detected within the GIMX config editor they are being recognized as "joystick GameStop Gamepad".
Since this is all performed outside of GIMX actually running, I don't have a log to include. GIMX detects my VRS wheelbase, VRS pedals, and a separate USB steering wheel without issue. It is only this particular wheel that is giving me issues with the buttons being detected and again it is only within the GIMX editor where I am seeing the issue.
I also tried to use JoyToKey to capture the button presses and translate them to specific keyboard keys, and all of them register and output the assigned key just fine when testing in Notepad, however GIMX wouldn't recognize the PS button press when using this method.
Any help would be appreciated.
