Xbox One controller model 1697 will not work connected via usb!

DavidB21

Hello, I have been trying for a number of days now to find a solution to my problem. But I couldn't find anything. I have a Xbox Controller that supports bluetooth, but my raspberry pi 2 does not, and I do not want to spend money on a bluetooth adapter. I have plugged my Xbox controller into my Raspberry Pi via usb, and the controller buzzes but does not light up. When I open up emulation station it doesn't even recognize that there is a controller plugged in. I have absolutely no clue how to fix this.

Pi Model: 2B
Power Supply used: CanaKit model DCAR-052A5. Its output it 5V 2.5A
RetroPie Version: 4.4
Built From: Pre made SD Image from RetroPie website the filename is: retropie-4.4-rpi2_rpi3.img.gz
USB Devices connected: CanaKit wifi adapter, iPazzPort wireless keyboard adapter
Controller Used: Xbox One controller model 1697
Error Messages received: none that I can remember
Log: I don't think this is relevant

I am sorry I couldn't complete all the criteria I was supposed to for this. I am very to to RetroPie, Raspberry Pi, and Linux in general, so please bear with me.

@DavidB21 Do you know the controller model ? I thought the older models didn't support BT, only the 17xx ones. Is the USB cable for charging or also for data - i.e. does it work if you connect the USB cable to a regular PC running Windows ?

@mitu I researched online, and yes my model controller does not support bluetooth, but oddly enough it connects to my Xbox without a wire. I plugged it in using the same cord I was with the Raspberry Pi, and it connected with no problems to my Windows laptop. I also have an xbox controller that is model 1708, and that one works when connected to my PC also. Thank you for responding so quickly to my post!

@DavidB21 that's because Xbox 360 and the early Xbox one controllers did not connect via Bluetooth but with a proprietary 2.4ghz wireless connection. 3rd party wireless usb adapters for these types of controllers can be picked up for about $10.

@quicksilver ok

@DavidB21 sorry I know that didn't exactly answer your question. Hopefully someone else knows a bit more.

Try to see if the controller is detected by the OS: exit Emulationstation from the menu, then you'll be dropped to the command line. Run the following 2 commands

lsusb
cat /proc/bus/input/devices

The first one should show you the USB devices detected by the OS and the 2nd one should list the input devices (the gamepad should be one of them). Try to post the output here so we can take a look.

Your controller should be handled by the xpad driver:

{ 0x045e, 0x02dd, "Microsoft X-Box One pad (Firmware 2015)", 0, XTYPE_XBOXONE },

Try 2 things

update the firmware on the controller
update the xpad driver from the RetroPie-Setup drivers' section and then reboot.

@mitu Sadly, it didn’t work

DavidB21

I fixed the controller. I accidentally had disabled the clad driver.

@DavidB21 Please give more details about how the fix, thanks.

mitu

@donly I think @DavidB21 just re-installed the xpad driver from the RetroPie setup script. If that doesn't work for you, then please open a new topic and describe your problem in detail, adding the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu I think it works via a cable, not the wireless adapter.

I have this controller, It is the case linux does not have the usb dongle drivers it works fine in the usb though without the wireless adapter
