Release [WIP] Master Control - Testers needed


Crionic said:
Please try this: Open "/etc/bluetooth/main.conf" and change "Class = 0x000100" to "Class = 0x000540". This should make your Pandora to be discovered as a keyboard instead as a computer. Also make sure that "DisablePlugins" includes "input"

You will need to restart "bluetoothd" afterwards.

Maybe that helps.

Tried it 3 times (always restarted bluetoothd before I changed the class back and forth) and every time MC crashed with a segfault after a couple of seconds:

Thanks for reporting back. The crashes are caused somewhere in the GUI. Couldn't find out where yet, because gdb refuses to print a complete backtrace  :angry:

I'm currently building a command line tool especially for testing a BT connection. Hope this will help to fix some problems...

The "L2CAP(s): Disconn" was the last line before opening the full interface, then I pushed the Bluetooth button, moved the nubs and pressed some keys, exited from the interface and disconnected from windows.
 
I know I'm a little late to the game here, but can I just say: What a fantastic entry to this community :)

People here have been waiting (literally) for years to get a USB/BT HID tool and had almost given it up as impractical.

Bravo!

HIDP: Control: Virtual cable unplug
Click to expand...
That seems to be the problem here, The Pandora is unplugging the virtual cable, which means, it requests to be disconnected from the host (yes, HID is very polite :) ). So, for some reason, Windows is not allowed to use the HID services.

Please try the following:

In a terminal enter (as root):

echo xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx [all] > /var/lib/bluetooth/yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy/trusts

where xx... is your Windows bdaddr and yy.. is your Pandora bdaddr (not sure if you need to restart bluetoothd)

This should grant access to all services on the Pandora. Now, try pairing again.

If it still not works, remove the directory /var/lib/bluetooth/yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy and try once again.

Nothing... the file is updating correctly even automatically, anyway i restarted the daemon at every trial but with always the same result

Hm, the file is not automatically updated on my Pandora. What SuperZaxxon version are you using? And are you using any 3rd-party bluetooth tools?

SZ 1.55 and I'm using the default bt applet/daemon
Click to expand...
Sorry, but I'm not able to reproduce your problem. It seems not to be MC-related. As I said, the Pandora (or better the BT stack) refuses access to the HID service, so it must be something in your BT configuration.

But as long as no one else tries with Win 7, I can't be sure about that.
 
No offense meant (I'm really greatfull that you realize something, I already waited years, in your spare time), but what do you think about modularizing Master Control or implementing profiles in it. I hardly need everything (Keyboard, Mouse, Gamepad, Touchscreen) simultaneously, but more often distinctive devices.

Erm... you just need to press the touch screen to cancel what you don't need. Take 2 seconds.

There is no issue with the action buttons. You just need to configure the gamepad in Steam (in big picture mode)
Click to expand...
Really ? I will try this out then. Never paid attention to that option before.

I don't consider a suggestion as offense :) I already thought about that, and actually I think it's a good idea. This would make it easier to add new devices. The gui could be made optional, too.

I will definitely consider this, but for now the primary goal is, to remove bugs and get to tool working as intended.

Yeah. PS3 and XBOX360 controller are auto detected by Steam. Every other controller must be configured.

Does not work. I configure most of the controls and it still wants to map nubs and more buttons and until they are all configured　(which is not possible since there are not enough buttons) it complains about missing controls, so I can't even use this.

Did you actually try it under steam Linux? does it work for you ?

Don't know what you are doing :) . I can save the settings, even without having all buttons assigned. For me, it doesn't complain about missing controls. But if you need more buttons, you can map them in the config file. The controller supports up to 16 buttons.

But note, that the second analog stick is buggy in this version (it's mapped to the first stick internally)
