 Posted: Wed Dec 05, 2007 7:50 am Post subject: DDR Dance Pad, setup help? (Multi-pad usage?) |
 |
|
I've recently got a DDR Pad (2 of them) from DDRGAME
they are both nonslip mats, with a multiplatform feature, including a USB-Plug (not an adaptor, but a wired USB connector already, out of the box)
The question is, how do I set it up correctly?
the pad itself is seen, through dmesg, when plugged in, but I cannot seem to find a /dev/input/js0 or anything of the sort.
DMESG Output after connecting the pad:
| Code: | usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
usb 2-1: device descriptor read/all, error 15
usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
usb 2-1: device descriptor read/all, error -110
usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6
usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
input: DDR2SET DDR2SET as /class/input/input6
input: USB HID v1.00 Joystick [DDR2SET DDR2SET] on usb-0000:00:1d.1-1
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid
drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver

There seems to be no activity from the pad, even after I turned stepmania on....
A howto link, or explanation would help, as I havent found any usefull information by doing a search for DDR Pad in Gentoo
thanks for your help

Make sure you have joystick support in the kernel. Also, if you do a search on the forums for 'dance pad', you should get some threads that help.

Ok, that did it =)
Now, how do I set it up so as that both pads work at the same time (IE 2 player)
Right now, only one seems to work
PS: /dev/input contains a JS0 and a JS2 now or a JS0 and a JS1, if I plug them in one after another,
Edit: still the second pad refuses to output TO Stepmania, but the second overall, responds, and so does the first (different terminals, cat /dev/input/js0 and in another same one to js1/2) Pad 2 responds in one terminal , and not the other, Pad 1 does the same (so no input conflict) |

To get my Pad to work at all in stepmania i had to install Qjoypad and bind the input it different keys. Not the best solution for me because sometimes Qjoypad unbinds all current binds when i try to set new ones. But it works  |

Hmmm, seems that Pad 2, doesnt even want to output to QJoypad as well (no matter which pad is #2), Qjoypad registers Joystick 1 and Joystick 2, but only receives input from Joystick 1
It is not the pad, because If I reverse the order I plug them in (so that Pad1 registers as Pad2, and vice versa) the current Pad 1 always works |
