PS2 viberation not working

[bane]

Nope, still no viberation. I used this code here.

Just a thought

Code by Laurent Gay. As a demonstration of the internal vibrating motors, the following program turns on the motors with button presses. For example, the smaller motor is turned on by the D-pad button, and is either on or off. The larger motor is turned on by the D-pad button, and is variable speed proportional to the pressure applied to the button. Note that the green wire on the PS2 controller cable needs to have 7.2 vdc applied for this to work with Sony-brand controllers. It’s not required for the Lynxmotion one.

But is says “not required for the lynxmotion one” and thats the one i have.

Your first post says you are using a madcatz controller and now you are saying you are using a lynxmotion controller, so which is it.

[bane]

Your first post says you are using a madcatz controller and now you are saying you are using a lynxmotion controller, so which is it.

I thought that the lynmotion controller was made by Madcatz. (Ok, i must have come up with that on my own digit )
(just added this in) here it is

; Control Mode 2 :
; Control All legs with the right joystick (SSC-32 XR-XL command mixed)
; the global speed is mixed too (SSC-32 XS command)
;
; Right and Left buttons adjust the speed limit (Mode 1 & 2)
;
; you may have to push the Analog Button on a MadCatz Wireless controller (if in sleep mode)
;

But regardless, i’m using the lynxmotion controller advaliable on this website.

Can you post some simple code that will make the viberation motors work so i can see if my controller is fully functional? Everything else works great.

I was hesitant to get involved with helping you troubleshoot a madcatz controller.

time elapsed…

Ok I have good news and bad news.

The bad news is it doesn’t work on my testing here either.

The good news is I will ask Laurent to look into it.

[bane]

Yes!! For once i’m not going insane! (i’ve tried alot of things)

I’ll be looking forward to your research.

Hello Bane,

I have tried all code modifications i can think of…with no positive result
sorry for this issue

[bane]

Hmm, thats interesting . Do you know if enabling the viberation motors is even possible with the lynxmotion controller? Just out of curiosity, was this tutorial ever done by anyone else that had trouble. I find this odd being that all the other tutorials haven’t gave me any trouble .

Bane

[robotdude]

This remains a mystery to me. Both Laurent and I thought this worked in the past. It’s possible that the second batch of controllers we received didn’t have this feature, but it’s really difficult to nail down. We are still working on it.

[bane]

Are there any modifications made to this controller?

@Bane

bane

No modifications, it’s a genuine imitation PS2 games controller. 8)

[bane]

Do you mean that you made the tutorial on a different brand controller? If so…that sux, i had a great idea for a robot.

Yes the original code was written for the MadCatz controller and also verified with the Sony brand one. I am working with the mfg to get some help. I don’t know if we will be successful but we are trying.

Sony will never release any code examples for the controllers. All of the code commands we are using were found on the internet a long time ago. They were posted by people who have attempted to reverse engineer it. We continue to fine tune and further modified the code to fix inaccuracies.

Because the motors work on the PS2 console then it’s just a matter of fine tuning our code to make it work. This is easier said then done.

[bane]

any luck?

is there anything i can do to help?

Nothing yet. With the language barrier, the competition, the Sony factor… I will prod them again.

[bane]

question: why do you have the green connected to VS in this picture? http://www.lynxmotion.com/images/assembly/eh3rv2/big/eh3r12b.jpg

Can i get a controller that will work or should i hunt for one of those good old controlles .

Bane

[robotdude]

The green wire is used on some controllers for the vibrating motors. However on the Lynxmotion ones the wire is not used.

[bane]

Over the week end i got the viberation motors to work with this code:

However, i can’t get control of any bottons or the d pad. Only have limited control of right and left joys.

please help, i’ve tried a lot of things and i just can’t seem to get viberation and full control all at once!

Bane

[robotdude]

I asked Laurent to look at your code to see if you may have found something here.

[laureatus]

Hey Bane ! you found something,

using “old” PS2 DualShock 1 mode ($73) makes the Lynxmotion Pad to be able to vibrate .

so, here’s some explanations about your program which was not working :

• Temp( 7 ) and temp( 8 ) were not read, so they were filled with random values
• using for-next loop is too slow to read PS2 flow, so we must read all data within a line
• “large” and “small” variables were inverted in the “shiftout” line, the first one to be sent is “small” then “large”

some pauses are added
temp array is reduced to 7 bytes
temp1 and cntr variables deleted

please note :
using DS1 mode ($73), all buttons are numeric, no more analog.
so here’s the corrected code (SEL and CLK lines were swapped to see pin assignment incremental)

Thanks for your help solving this

Yes! It’s about time things start working on my project .

some pauses are added
temp array is reduced to 7 bytes
temp1 and cntr variables deleted

Are you saying that its not possable to have temp array to 19 bytes (full capasity of controller)?

If not, can i just make the modification to the code that the viberation doesn’t work on?

Thanks for helping me out on this, i spent quite a bit of time fooling around with the code (with no clue what i’m doing ), I’m still a noob at all this advanced basic coding.
