Hi Alain,
Thanks for sharing your patch. Others have encountered similar issues.
This is the case when the calibration coefficients are incorrect.
These are hard programmed into devices from the factory. It are
typically clone devices, which don't implement all DS4 functionality
properly.
Can you try printing all the variables (gyro_speed_plus,..
acc_z_minus) for your device as decimal numbers from the
get_calibration_data function?
I have been considering to add a little bit of clone support code if
possible to the new hid-playstation as long as it doesn't pollute the
code too much or causes issues.
Thanks,
Roderick
