Aimtrak Installation Issue
-
https://github.com/gunpadawan/gunconf only reason i know this is ive been looking up how dolphin bar and aimtrack devices are working. I dont have these devices but ive put some code together to test if i ever get one. I need to check how and if ra maps them once i know how they are mapping in RA the code is trivial.

I don't think RetroPie has such package - you're probably using a 3rd party image, in which case you best contact the author of the image to ask for troubleshooting advice.
Sorry I wasn't specific. The instructions for Gunconf has you install optional package mame 1.4 and the Gunconf script which all worked. But then I get that error and I don't know what it means "python" etc.

@Garavar
I don't know, perhaps a reset, or reinstallation. -
@Garavar Python is the scripting language which is used by the calibration script, the error is specific to the script - so I don't think you did something wrong. How are you running the script ?

I followed the directions from site (below). They all worked except sudo cp utils/aimtrak.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/99-aimtrak.rules which did nothing and sudo udevadm control --reload-rules which said "no directory found"
Directions followed...
sudo apt install apt-transport-https python-dev python-pygame python-setuptools
Get the source
git clone https://github.com/gunpadawan/gunconfInstall python module
cd gunconfsudo python setup.py install
Udev rules
Application requires access to the aimtrak usb device. It is usually necessary to configure udev to let your specific user access that device.To let any user access the device, do:
sudo cp utils/aimtrak.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/99-aimtrak.rules
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
Launch
To launch application, you can execute utils/gunconf.shWhen I get here, it launches application, detects gun but does nothing else. When I exit I get those errors.

@Garavar
You should have this file in the gunconf/utils/ subfolder:
https://github.com/gunpadawan/gunconf/blob/master/utils/aimtrak.rulesand it needs to go here "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-aimtrak.rules"
sudo mkdir -p /etc/udev/rules.d
cd
cd gunconf/utils
sudo cp aimtrak.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/99-aimtrak.rules
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules -

That's not needed, if the gun is detected as a mouse, the running user should be able to access the mouse device.

@mitu
but it also has a specific vendor id that is not registered anywhere elseSUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="d209", MODE="0666" -
it can be detected as a mouse or joystick or both the wiimote does the same thing you only need that is you are using the joystick. I dug my old wii mote out a and set it up seems to be working ok ill need to get a sensor bar for it at some point to test the ir though

sudo udevadm control --reload-rulesI cant even find my gunconf/utils/ folder...is there a permission I am missing?
-
@Garavar
it should be in the directory where you cloned the github for gunconf.
maybe
cd ~/gunconf/ -

sudo udevadm control --reload-rulesTried this, still gets stuck on configuration and went I quit I get the same index error from photo ;(
-
@Garavar Do you have more than one mouse device connected ? You didn't gave much details about your actual system - maybe the configuration utility incorrectly chooses you mouse device.
Can you runcat /proc/bus/input/deviceswith the gun connected and post the output here ? -

I think I figured out the problem but don't know how to fix it. When I go to file manager all the folders and files are there (utils, pgu) but the Gunconf folder with drivers and files like conversion.py aren't there. Don't know why.
I followed the download steps it should be there.

make sure you are using python 2.x and not 3
try running with gunconf/utils/gunconf_w_logs.sh aand post the log
also post a
sudo udevadm test -a add $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/input/js0 )
replace path with relevant joystick and mice

Error log phot attached, I also tried reinstalling and got similar error
-
any more information in ~/.gunconf.log ?

Hi
I have exactly the same issue. The gun works ok as I cheated and calibrated it on a windows laptop on the same external screen so it sorta works but id still like to know why I detects the Gun but never proceeds past into the following screen for calibration
-
@grant2258 that file comes up blank or as a new file so must not get created when running with the log option.
-
Could try again from start, maybe the python setup was missed?
sudo apt install apt-transport-https python-dev python-pygame python-setuptools
git clone https://github.com/gunpadawan/gunconf
cd gunconf
sudo python setup.py install
sudo cp utils/aimtrak.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/99-aimtrak.rules
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo cp utils/gunconf.sh /home/pi/RetroPie/retropiemenu/I apologize I missed that step when I posted earlier, I thought it was a good reference to the hub I guess.
