Game Input MultipleXer

Yeah that's how I have it wired. I got the firmware from here (http://gimx.fr/download/gimx-firmwares.html)

As I have a Teensy++ I did the test and it works flawlessly.

Check the following things:
- the USB cables (shielded ones are better)
- the cables between the Teensy++ and the CP2102 (there may be a faulty contact)
- the soldering on the Teensy++ (there also may be a faulty contact)

Well finally after 3 days of aggravation it finally all works. You wont believe what the problem was, its really embarrassing I forgot to change "Physical Device to Windows Events" under input settings. If I may suggest for a future update making "Windows Events" the default highlighted choice and or mentioning it in the wiki. Also maybe emphasizing that it must be connected to the PS3(PS4/Xbox) and powered on before clicking start. But yeah after that everything worked like it should, both setups with the Teensy++ and the Arduino worked perfectly. I did have to swap the RX/TX on the CP2102 adapter. From the beginning I had this feeling I was missing something stupid. I'm so relived and exited to finally get this working. I can't thank you enough for helping me out with this, that's really awesome. I do have another unrelated question, but i'll just PM you. Now its time to tweak and play with some configs, Thanks again.

"Physical devices" should work fine... Are you sure it was the problem?

Yes, the console has to be powered on when you start GIMX.

Absolutely 100% positive, I just rechecked it right now. I also checked it in linux too and same thing there, as soon as I switch it to "Windows Events" it starts working. This was the case on all 3 PC's. I'm actually surprised to here you say that, I figured it was just an oversite on my part. If you need me to run any more test to figure out why its behaving this way I will.

What happens when using "Physical devices"?
Do you get the same error messages as before ("No controller detected", "Connector_init failed") or not?
If not, what messages are displayed?

Yes with "Physical devices" I get the "No controller detected", "Connector_init failed"

This sounds like a bug...

Hi,

Could you please make the following test:

• download http://gimx.fr/download/d74ef0e8ac4d73b ... d/gimx.zip
• open the gimx installation directory
• rename gimx.exe to gimx.exe.bk
• copy-paste the gimx.exe file from the archive to that directory
• open gimx-launcher and start gimx with "Physical devices" and "Window-events" (make sure to have the Teensy connected to the PS3, and to power on the PS3)
• for each test, copy the terminal content and post it
• restore the gimx.exe file

Well and after my AV going apeshit I get this for both "Physical devices" and "Window-events"....

option -c with value `PS3_Battlefield_Hardline_ShatterStar.xml'
option -p with value `COM8'
subpos flag is set
force_updates flag is set
Detected USB adapter: Sixaxis.
press enter to exit

I then switched back to the original gimx.exe and now it works in both modes "Physical devices" and "Window-events". This is very strange, I have tried everything I could think of to recreate the error and the only thing that will cause that error is not having the PS3 on. So I dont know what the problem was and why its now working. I also wanted to ask what is the difference between "Physical devices" and "Window-events"?
