Pi 3 - Logitech F710

KC93

Wireless Logitech F710 controller isn't being recognized in input config in Emulation Station.

I've tried rebooting. Tried making sure usb dongle for new 710 controller is in top left ("player 1" usb port)....
Have used both my wired Logitech F310 and my wireless keyboard to open up input config in Emulation Station....tried switching X & D modes on the new Logitech F710....
Nothing has worked thus far.

What am I doing wrong here?

Pi 3
Retropie 4.8.9

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

@KC93 Try installing the xpad driver from retropie setup.

It was already installed by source. Removed it and reinstalled by source. Rebooted.
Having same issue.

Just to clarify, the F710 is "detected" in Emulation Station but pushing any buttons on it doesn't start the configure process.

@KC93 There's a small switch top center of the game pad, O - X.
If I recall, the O is for old school Driver mode, the X is for newer driver mode.
Try to flip the switch to X if not already.

Tried that at the beginning. Thanks man, I appreciate it though!
Unfortunately not changing anything.

Can you run the following commands (with just the the F710 controller connected) and post the output:

cat /proc/bus/input/devices
lsusb

Is the controller working with a normal PC ? Does it have fresh batteries ?

You can checked whether any inputs are generated by the Linux drives with jstest , run jstest /dev/input/js0 and press the inputs (buttons/triggers/joysticks) to see if anything registers on the screen. Make sure the F710 is the only controller connected otherwise the joystick device number is different. You can interrupt the test at any time by entering Ctrl + C.

I have to use my wireless keyboard to run the commands. Can't just have only F710 plugged in unfortunately...
After running those commands I got this output:

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 3554:fc03
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 046d:c21f Logitech, Inc. F710 Wireless Gamepad [Xinput Mode]

Yes fresh batteries. I do not have a PC right now to make sure gamepad works there.

Jstest isn't recognizing any buttons....

That's ok, but you forgot to run the 1st command.

Not a surprise, this means there's either nothing transmitted or the device is not recognized as a gamepad (1st command I posted would have showed if it's detected or not as a gamepad).

Yes fresh batteries. I do not have a PC right now to make sure gamepad works there.

Please try to see if it works on a PC (with Windows if possible), just to confirm is not a hardware/pairing issue.
