scanning without result

[Dr-Death]

Hi, when i run nrf24-scanner with crazyradio PA it keep scanning without showing and result.

i reinstall pyusb as suggested in one of the tickets, also tried to flash crazyradio firmware and set the address to 1915:0102 instead of 1915:7777 in all files under "crazyradio-firmware/usbtools" but get error when tring to flash crazyradio FW:

sudo ./cradioFlasher.py Image size: 7359 Loaded binary image.

Starting to flash... Launch bootloader Traceback (most recent call last): File "./cradioFlasher.py", line 157, in flash ret = launchBootloader.launchBootloader(True) File "/home/drdeath/mousejack/crazyradio-firmware/usbtools/launchBootloader.py", line 61, in launchBootloader handle.controlMsg(0x40, 0xFF, (), value=0, index=0, timeout=100) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/usb/legacy.py", line 211, in controlMsg timeout = timeout) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/usb/core.py", line 1043, in ctrl_transfer self.__get_timeout(timeout)) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/usb/backend/libusb1.py", line 883, in ctrl_transfer timeout)) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/usb/backend/libusb1.py", line 595, in _check raise USBError(_strerror(ret), ret, _libusb_errno[ret]) usb.core.USBError: [Errno 32] Pipe error

also notes an error with launchBootloader:

sudo ./launchBootloader.py Launch bootloader Traceback (most recent call last): File "./launchBootloader.py", line 95, in sys.exit(launchBootloader(True)) File "./launchBootloader.py", line 61, in launchBootloader handle.controlMsg(0x40, 0xFF, (), value=0, index=0, timeout=100) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/usb/legacy.py", line 211, in controlMsg timeout = timeout) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/usb/core.py", line 1043, in ctrl_transfer self.__get_timeout(timeout)) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/usb/backend/libusb1.py", line 883, in ctrl_transfer timeout)) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/usb/backend/libusb1.py", line 595, in _check raise USBError(_strerror(ret), ret, _libusb_errno[ret]) usb.core.USBError: [Errno 32] Pipe error

nrf24-scanner just keep looping without showing any result:

please advice, thanks

Are you able to flash the dongle using sudo make install from the repository root? If this works, then everything should be good to go with the dongle.

Given that the nrf24-scanner.py script doesn't raise any exceptions, I suspect that it just isn't seeing any traffic. The script works by cycling through each channel and listening on each for 100ms. In order to see a device, the target device needs to be transmitting on a given channel at the same time that the dongle is listening on that channel.

The easiest way to find the address of a mouse, for instance, is to run the script and move your mouse around while it cycles through the channels. Depending on the mouse (and its hopping behavior), it will usually get detected in 10-30 seconds.

[marcnewlin]

Depending on the target device, you can speed up the process by limiting the channels that are scanned. Logitech Unifying devices, for instance, use every third channel between 2402 and 2474. To scan on just these channels, you can invoke the script as follows:

sudo ./tools/nrf24-scanner.py -c {2..74..3} -v

sudo make install run without error:

i moved the mouse all the time while scanning, but nothing detected

[marcnewlin]

Which mouse are you using?

[Dr-Death]

i have two mouse's to test with (astrum, intex): Bus 003 Device 008: ID 248a:8564
Bus 002 Device 011: ID 062a:4101 Creative Labs Wireless Keyboard/Mouse

[marcnewlin]

I haven't looked at mice from Astrum or Intex, but I suspect they are using a different type of transceiver.

[Dr-Death]

the usb dongle for astrum written on it 2.4GHZ

[marcnewlin]

This project works with devices that are compatible with the nRF24L series of transceivers from Nordic Semiconductor.

Not all mice use this particular type of transceiver, so your best bet would be to look at one of the known devices listed in the public advisories:

https://github.com/RFStorm/mousejack/tree/master/doc/advisories

[Dr-Death]

the touchpad in togitech wireless keyboard does is it compatible?

[marcnewlin]

Yes, all of the Logitech Unifying devices use nRF24L compatible transceivers.

[Dr-Death]

i have this logitech wireless keyboard (model name: Y-RAN77), i moved the touchpad while scanning but also nothing detect:

Bus 003 Device 010: ID 046d:c51e Logitech, Inc.

also test it with the small type of mini keyboard that came with touchpad:

Bus 002 Device 016: ID 0c45:7000 Microdia

[marcnewlin]

It looks like that uses an older 27MHz transceiver, but any of the Logitech Unifying branded devices are compatible.

[Dr-Death]

yes its an old keyboard, i will check with some friends if they have any new modules of logitech or M$ to test it with.

thanks

Think I've got a similar problem.

I'm using a "2.4Ghz nRF24LU1+ USB radio Crazyradio dongle" bought from: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331932644753?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I've tried various mice and keyboards, I think most are probably a bit old (I.e. pre-unifying) However I've also tested a Logitech TK820 and Logitech M505 which are definitely unifying compatible (the M505 ships with the 0007 dongle [I couldn't re-flash this to test because it wasn't mine]).

I'm running "nrf24-scanner.py -l" and I would've expected some results but even with the "-v" flag I just get output that it's hopping channels and the green LED on the dongle lights up.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I've got the Crazyradio PA and the EagleTec K104 / KS04 2.4 GHz Wireless Combo keyboard. However, after flashing i cant find any device with nrf24-scanner.py.

Any ideas?
