You may need another adaptor to convert whatever connector the cable has to be a USB socket to connect to controller too. They look like regular USB cables but have 2 connectors, one for data and one for power, you connect data to the pi, power to something like a phone or ipod charger (any mains adaptor with a USB port on it). A gamepad has alot more logic going on reading the thumbstick pots etc, how they hit 400mA is beyond me though, seems more likely that the sticker on wired controllers should have been on the wireless ones.Ī) get a powered USB hub, its basically a necessity for the pi.ī) get a powered USB cable. I believe the USB host makes a request to the keyboard which then just returns the state of a small multiplexer formatted correctly, specifically on USB it is limited to just 5 keys. Most keyboards only draw a small handful of mA, even them hitting 50 would be rare (unless they are backlit). I'm begging to think I may need a powered hub for this to work properly? Are there any gamepads that will work without having to do this? Still, even with it in the correct mode and the RPi recognizing the gamepad, I can't get jstest to receive anything from the device. Also, if the switch on the back is in "x input mode" then the gamepad doesn't show up, it needs to be in "direct input mode".
If you still have questions browse the topics on the left. We've put everything you need to get started with your Gamepad F310 right here. What is weird is that at first I could press the MODE button and have the LED next to it light up, but now this is not working. There are no Spare Parts available for this Product. So now it's seeing the pad, but when I run jstest for a simple input test I'm not getting anything. I didn't do anything differently either, just kept rebooting/unplugging/plugging back in. At first, I couldn't get it to show up under /dev/input but now it seems to come up no problem. Hey I'm relatively new to hacking around on this thing, but I've at least got EmulationStation working pretty well and I'd like to get a gamepad working with it.
