 Posted: Tue Nov 06, 2007 6:10 pm Post subject: Not connecting with guitar |
|
|
I'm having some issues getting my GH3 guitar to connect. The wiimote by itself works fine, but if i try connecting it while its plugged into the guitar it refuses to match with it. Also, if i plug it in after having the wiimote connected, no input gets processed at all. Here is some info i gathered about the issue:
| Code: | Registering key BTN_RIGHT for button A with code 111
Registering key BTN_LEFT for button B with code 110
Registering key ['KEY_LEFTCTRL', 'KEY_LEFTALT', 'BTN_LEFT'] for button D with code 1d
Registering key ['KEY_LEFTCTRL', 'KEY_LEFTALT', 'BTN_LEFT'] for button D with code 38
Registering key ['KEY_LEFTCTRL', 'KEY_LEFTALT', 'BTN_LEFT'] for button D with code 110
Registering key ['KEY_LEFTALT'] for button L with code 38
Registering key KEY_1 for button 1 with code 2
Registering key KEY_2 for button 2 with code 3
Registering key ['KEY_LEFTCTRL'] for button U with code 1d
Registering key ['KEY_F8'] for button R with code 42
[[1074025828, 2], [1074025830, 0], [1074025830, 1], [1074025828, 1], [1074025828, 0], [1074025829, 273], [1074025829, 272], [1074025829, 29], [1074025829, 56], [1074025829, 272], [1074025829, 56], [1074025829, 2], [1074025829, 3], [1074025829, 29], [1074025829, 66]]

Victory! We have found that Wiimote!
We are now connected to Wiimote at address 00:1A:E9:30:4D:F0

self.process_stats( s )
TypeError: process_stats() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given) |
Also, if i use
| Code: | sudo hidd --search
sudo hcidump -X |
with JUST the wiimote, i get the expected results, but as soon as i plug in the GH adapter it spat out the following lines then stopped responding to key presses (even if i removed the GH adapter).
| Code: | > ACL data: handle 6 flags 0x02 dlen 12
L2CAP(d): cid 0x0041 len 8 [psm 0]
0000: a1 20 00 00 02 00 00 57 . .....W |
can anyone with a little more experience shed some light on this issue?
Thanks,
DJuniah |

Don't know, but you shouldn't expect the guitar to work without explicit support for it in WMD. The guitar has it's own unique identifier, and if WMD uses that to determine what type of extension was plugged in (as it should) then it should not recognize it. Unfortunately it seems like it doesn't reset the report mode like it should, so you're not getting any button presses. That's just a weird thing with the wiimote where if an extension is plugged in or removed you need to explicitly tell it you are interested in button presses/accelerometer/IR/etc again or you won't get anything.
I can't think of why removing the guitar would keep it from fixing itself though.. perhaps bad design? I'm not trying to say WMD is bad or anything, it's just old and probably not written with great care for all of these possible contingencies.
People are having success getting the guitar to work in GlovePIE, which is surprising given there was no explicit support for it (hinting at poor design there too, but it worked out in this case). I know it's not linux though :\ |

| Look for the part of the code that handles extension events (that's report 0x20). At some point in there it should read some data from address 0x04A400FC. That data is the extension id, it should use that to setup the extension stuff. Pretty much just clone the classic controller code and modify it as needed for the guitar. |

(ok it looks like this board wont let me post full links yet, so go to the ubuntu forums and search for my username there, or put ?p=3729160 after the showthread.php to get to it)

Hi. It's great that you figured that out, so I was wondering if you have any idea on how to toggle the Wiimote LEDs on and off?
I found there's already an event for this, but I can't figure out where do I have to make the event suscription so that I can use the accelerometer data to toggle the LEDs?
BTW, what version of WMD did you work on? I only found one at CircuitDB which was 0.1.2. |

Do you need to use WMD for any particular reason?
The wiiuse library will let you set LEDs with the wiiuse_set_leds() function. Might be worth checking out? Link is in my sig.
