Can't rumble but everything else works.

[ulao]

I have a few controllers to play with, many OEM some power A, and have been able to make them all work.

None of them need the init string to send packets, they all do this automatically with my host.

when I send the init
uint8_t init_packet[] = {0x05,0x20,0x00,0x01,0x00};
HID->sendBulk(init_packet, sizeof(init_packet));

many of the controllers turn on the LED. I think the one that does not, is my permanent wired USB controller. For the other controllers they all respond to LED commands

i.e
uint8_t report[7] = {0x0a,0x20,0x04,0x03,0x00,0x09,0x14};//start blink
HID->sendBulk(init_packet, sizeof(init_packet));

and I can do all types of LED configs. but I want to rumble, and I know the motors work because on init, they all do a motor test. but no matter what I try the motors will not activate on commands.

Here is one way I tried it.

			uint8_t report[11] = {0};
			report[0] =0x09;       	// header
			report[1] =0x00;       	//  
			report[2] =0x00;   	   	//  
			report[3] =0x00;       	// short rumble 
			report[4] =0x00;    	// Mode
			report[5] =0x04;    	// motor mask 
			report[6] =0x00; 		// L motor
			report[7] =0x00;		// L motor trigger
			report[8] =0x20; 		// R motor trigger
			report[9] =0x00;   		// R motor
			report[10] =0x80; 		// Duration
		    HID->sendBulk(report, sizeof(report));

and here is another

			uint8_t report[13] = {0};
			report[0] =0x09;       // header
			report[1] =0x00;       //  
			report[2] =counter;    //  <-- AI suggested this but I tried without as well
			report[3] =0x08;       // short rumble 
			report[4] =0x00;       // Mode
			report[5] =0x0F;       // motor mask 
			report[6] =constLevel; 
			report[7] =constLevel;
			report[8] =constLevel; 
			report[9] =constLevel;
			report[10] =0x80;      
			report[11] =0; 
			report[12] =0xeb; 
		    HID->sendBulk(init_packet, sizeof(init_packet));

I'm sure there is something I'm missing but not sure what it could be. I did experiment with motors and masks, but nothing tickles this thing. An yone have a thought?

my findings and what I needed

			report[0] =0x09;       	// header
			report[1] =0x00;       	//  <8 causes issues
			report[2] =counter++;  	//  <had to keep counting, if not ignored. 
			report[3] =0x09;       	// short rumble 
			report[4] =0x00;    	// Mode
			report[5] =0x0F;    	// motor mask 
			report[6] =0; 		// L motor
			report[7] =0;		// L motor trigger
			report[8] =255;  // R motor trigger
			report[9] =255;   		// R motor
			report[10] =255; 	// Duration
		    HID->sendBulk(report, sizeof(report));

for now this works.

oh my, ok something new here. I found one controller that does not like the start up and learned a bit...

first the controller does this

-----v this number counts
8, 28, 37, 171, 170, 37, 100, 224

I get this once ever half second. Goes on forever, until I send a init. onceI send that it stops.

I tried a few inits all do the same, and none start the pipe payload.

if I send the LED command I get a reply
9, 4, 128, 1, 0, 0, 100, ] 224
and the LED comes on

but sending rumble does nothing. So the controller is alive but it will not send payloads, any ideas? I have 30 xbox xontrollers that work this one does not, unless I put in on windows or the xbox, then it works. So its not expecting the auth.

oh wow got it...

so I need to
set LED (optional)
run full start up
0x05,0x20,0x00,0x01,0x00
then run partial 0x05,0x20 continuously. This polls the controller. I run it after each command I get, if I fail to do this, it does not speak back.
