I can control all leds in a static on/off mode, but can't set any
blinking/timer behaviour
It sounds like this controller just doesn't implement all of the
behavior of the official controller. I'm not sure how to fix it if it's
not obeying the instructions in valid output reports and I don't have
one to test personally. 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.
Thanks for taking care of this. I'll add it to the v5 series when I
send it in a couple of days.
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.
Yeah, the controller overriding user settings and flashing by itself
until the PS button is pushed is a particularly annoying aspect of the
Sixaxis on USB and there is no perfect way to handle it. I wish that I
could just submit a report from within the driver the first time the PS
button is pressed to restore the LED state, but that could mess with
hidraw applications. The next-best solution would probably be to not
filter redundant LED state settings for Sixaxis controllers on USB.
This way, userland can stop the flashing without having to toggle an LED
on/off or off/on if they are already set to the desired state. I'll
make the change for v5.
Thanks again for all of the testing :)
