Do the lights flash properly when the > controller is used with a PS3? I was able to patch the code so that I could turn all LEDs off my Intec controller, see attached. Tested this against the Intec and the SixAxis. I was not able to make the LEDs flash in a controlled fashion, so you might be right about the controller not working properly - although my comments in python script suggests I did have something going.... must be missing a snippet of info. I also found that on the SixAxis, when I reported that I had to set 1st LED off before I could set it on.... this only applies when the controller was off and then plugged into USB. At this point the LEDs are slow flashing, and the 'brightness' reports as 1 (driver code only writes to device if value is changed). If the device was already on (LEDs flashing) then only the 1st LED is set on plug in, and I can turn LEDs off/on straight away. Cheers, Simon
