I built a DIY adapter from with CP2102 adapter and a pro micro arduino. On one of my computers it works fine, no issues, on my racing rig it won't detect or show any ports in the launcher even though it's showing up in the device manager.
I had enough parts to build 3 of these so I built 3 different combinations and all work fine on one computer and are not detected on any USB port on the racing rig. When I first installed the firmware on the first adapter it worked fine, showed up as an option to pick the port, no issues. Rebooted and no adapter was available to pick so I figured something was up. Moved it back to my work computer and no issues, GIMX finds it just fine.
Any ideas? I tried forcing the port in the command line but that didn't work.
I tried completely cleaning out all traces of GIMX and reinstalling and still no dice. I can't even generate a log file because it won't start.
Are you connecting it directly or using a USB Hub ?
Could you also please post the driver version you are using.

I am connecting directly. I tried ever port I have including a couple PCI hubs. This is a PC direct setup also.
Strangely, this morning it finds it, and it seems to work ok (other than being really laggy) with an error that might shed some light on why it disappeared after a reboot? I originally rebooted because of the severe input lag (like a full second from shifting to it actually shifting in game).
Edit 3: Reboot and the com port is no longer selectable in GIMX... I cannot figure out what the reboot is doing... Adapter still shows in the port list.
Final Edit: Reboot and it shows up. I hear the windows "new device sound" about 20 seconds after booting up so I'm thinking I jumped the gun on the last full shutdown and startup. For now I'm going to just use and see how stable it is. When it shows up in the GIMX port list, it seems to work perfectly with none of the lag issues I was having.
So I figured out if I unplug and replug the cp2102 adapter after startup the port shows up fine in GIMX. Maybe that's by design? Either way, when it's working, it works awesome. So great to have my VRS wheel work in games that don't support it!
Glad its working, as for the port not showing I know some programs like the ones used to monitor a UPS could cause the port to be non accessible but you could check all the programs in your startup to check if there is anything that could be causing it.

It's been reliably finding it after the first few times of needing to unplug and replug. I do have cyberpower UPS software on the gaming computer, my next step if it starts flaking again is to uninstall the UPS software and see if it happens again after that.
In case others stumble upon this, this thread pointed me in the right direction (after trying multiple different CP210x boards...): the trick for me was to quit SimHub. After that, no more conflicts!!
