ltwheelconf's Issues

make Error

Hello,
I'm using Linux Mint 12

When I use "make" I get the following error:

gcc -Wall -c main.c
In file included from main.c:30:0:
wheelfunctions.h:24:31: fatal error: libusb-1.0/libusb.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [main.o] Error 1

So I thought I needed to install the libusb-1.0.0 dev (since libsusb-1.0.0 is already installed), but then I get the following error:

gcc -Wall -c main.c

Can you give me any advice?

Ubuntu 16.10 - Logitech G25

Hello,

This solution is not working any more for Logitech G25, since the last Ubuntu changes also changed the behavior of the kernel.

Is there another solution?

Best Regards,

Current status

I see that the README says that most of this work has made it's way into the kernel. In that case how would one go about configuring a wheel in say kernel 4.x+? I would assume it would still need some userpsace utilities.

Doesn't work with Logitech Driving Force GT

I'm able to switch the wheel into native mode with this tool so I get at least 900 degree and proper clutch support but the tool isn't setting range and force feedback (autocenter). I tried this command:

$ ltwheelconf --wheel DFGT --nativemode --autocenter 100 --rampspeed 1 --range 688
Found a Driving Force GT already in native mode.
Wheel rotation range of Driving Force GT is now set to 200 degrees.
Autocenter for Driving Force GT is now set to 100 with rampspeed 1.

When I start a game which supports wheels then the wheel is still operating with 900 degree range and there is no autocentering and no force feedback at all.

unneccesary driver re-attaching

For each Logitech-specifc command that requires direct communication with the device few steps need to be done:

• detach kernel driver
• claim USB device
• send command string(s)
• release USB device
• attach kernel driver

When ltwheelconf is called with multiple commands at once, for each command the steps above are done. It would be better to collect all cmd strings to send and then only once do the detach/attach driver stuff.

Example:
$# sudo ltwheelconf -wheel G25 --range 900 --autocenter 0

Currently for both commands (setting range and setting autocenter force) the above sequence is executed. With the improved implementation only once the kernel driver would be detached, then both commands for range and autocenter would be sent and then the kerneldriver attached again.

automatically detect the connected wheel

Currently ltwheelconf requires parameter --wheel to specify which wheel is connected. This information is used to determine which commands to send to the wheel to switch to native mode.
The Windows driver does some magic to automatically detect which device is connected, so ltwheelconf should also be able to do that.

This would ease also integration into udev so there could be just one rule "When any logitech wheel is detected switch it into native mode", regardless of which device it actually is.

ltwheelconf sends 8byte commands instead of 7

Logitech drivers always send 7 Bytes for each command, while current ltwheelconf sends 8 bytes. Simon reported that the Wii wheel crashes when receiving more than 7 bytes in a command.
=> Code needs to be changed to only send 7 bytes.
