Aimtrak Installation Issue

@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/gunconf

Install python module
cd gunconf

sudo 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.sh

When I get here, it launches application, detects gun but does nothing else. When I exit I get those errors.

You should have this file in the gunconf/utils/ subfolder:
https://github.com/gunpadawan/gunconf/blob/master/utils/aimtrak.rules

and 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 else

SUBSYSTEMS=="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

I cant even find my gunconf/utils/ folder...is there a permission I am missing?

Efriim

@Garavar
it should be in the directory where you cloned the github for gunconf.
maybe
cd ~/gunconf/

Tried this, still gets stuck on configuration and went I quit I get the same index error from photo ;(

mitu

@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 run cat /proc/bus/input/devices with 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

grant2258

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

a1084426

@grant2258 that file comes up blank or as a new file so must not get created when running with the log option.

Efriim

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.

@Efriim yeah ive done it 3 times now, I also increased the logging level to critical incase, but still nothing in the logs at all. It's almost as if the script itself doesn't have permissions to read the config from the usb device is my guess. I have Unix and python gurus at work i'm going to work thru it with as other than that the aimtrak gun works ok, justs needs calibration as some games like Lethal enforcers require you to shoot off screen to reload and this doesn't work to well without setting calibration

It's also worth nothing I have firmware 9.2 on the gun device as well. I doesn't have an issue reading and calibrating on windows, so I assume its an issue with Python and some sort of access on the Raspberry as that's Debian

Efriim

@a1084426
Okay, thanks for being understanding, I've been away and did not read many the updates.

I have no aimtrak device, the script gunconf calibration works for me from a RetroPie 4.4 image. So it is probably not the usb device.

I just got a 64gb sdcard so I'm starting new, and I'll try some things to see if I can understand your scenario better.

@Efriim that's fine I'm a windows admin so Raspberry and Linux is a little foreign. I've got some commands to run on the install "sudo python setup.py install /home/pi/gunconf/test.log 2>&1" this will log everything to a file on the install so I can see if anything gets a denied or error and then go from there. I do see a permission denied on some folder but it scrolls off to quick so I cant see if that's an issue or not.

I also updated to latest Raspberry OS and made sure it is using python 2.7.
the script actually mostly works and detects the trigger pull fine, just then doesn't goto the next step to read the gun config
