Does the Ultrastik 360 work with a Pi?

<< < (8/9) > >>

dbinott:
ok, I think I got it worked out.

Change hardware throttle to 0. This seemed to take care of the erratic behaviour.
Found out that the bind failed is nothing. just means it couldn't bind to an ipv6 ip.

Still nothing showing rgbcmdcon or jstest (identifies correctly) maybe cause it shows as keyboard?

dbinott:
meh, happening again.  :banghead:

And what exactly is the problem? You are trying to use one U360 with ES and it doesn't work correctly?
You shouldn't put the hw throttle to 0 for an U360 - use the default or up it. Hwthrottle is needed to pause the communication in between byte sequences. One needs to write several to put a map in the stick and if it goes too fast you can have issues.
You wrote you can use ultrastickcmd to flash the stick? That's a windows program? What I would do is flash it to 8-way for example, see if it works in windows(just in the control panel applet), edit rgbcmdd.xml and disable all 4 U360' in the joystick section. Restart the daemon (or the pi) and see if the stick works in ES. Of course the daemon won't do anything with the stick but you'll at least know if it works on your pi or not. Like so you'll have a 'normal' 8 way joystick. If it works be sure it always works eg try multiple times to see if it keeps working.
Work from there. If you have multiple sticks start with one. Success? Try to add another one in 8-way. Success? Activate ONE stick in the daemon cfg. Success? Active the 2nd.
Work by eliminating as many unknowns as you can. Step by step. If it behaves erratically after switching the stick on in the rgbcmdd.xml double the hwthrottle for starters.
(EDIT: and start lowering it afterwards - I know u360's are being used with success and it has been really extensively tested at the time)
Mahuti and I lost a significant amount of time during dev/testing with the LEDWiz for example and all the issues came from the fact that I wrote too fast to the board. It drove me nuts...
Now, we haven't had a similar issue with the u360 but yeah... who knows... I don't have u360's myself.

Anyone know if this will work on a really old U360?  I bought mine in 2010-11 or so...

Bringing this super helpful topic back from the dead in the hope of getting a little help!  I've got through the process to install RGB Commander  0.4.0.5 in RetroPie is v4.7.1 (I believe) with ADVMame 0.94.  From the terminal I can see that it's working and I can test switch maps using  set,stick,21 as well when manually switching with ultrastikcmd .  However, I'm still not able to auto switch and i'm pretty sure I'm making some kind of dumb mistake in rgbcmdd.xml. 

I've attached rgbcmdd.xml and my latest log file so would it be possible for someone who knows more about this to have a look please?  I think this is really close but there's something stupid I'm not doing to make it switch maps!

Cheers  ;)
