Support for other FFB devices too?

[SweetyVolty]

Hello, I have a saitek cyborg 3D FFB device. Is there any chance EDFF working with it too?

Also lots of people using xbox controllers too which would be wonderful if it added too thanks ^^

Tried to change the guid with my devices but it never worked :'(

[bobhelander]

I put the product guid in the settings.json file as the very first setting.

It looks like this: "ProductGuid": "001b045e-0000-0000-0000-504944564944", = the Microsoft FFB2 Joystick

I also uploaded a new version that outputs the detected force feedback devices before the device is selected.

If your device shows up in the log, change the settings.json file with notepad and replace the product guid value with the id of your device. Restart and see if it works.

You can also try the fedit.exe utility under the "FFutils" folder and see if you can create effects for that device.

Please let me know if it does or does not.

Oh I wish my keyboard could able to talk, then it would tell you how many different GUID's I tried until my right hand literally gave up after a very long surfing on the web about what I was doing wrong while trying to compiling etc to adopt my devices to bring my tiny cockpit a little bit more action <3 I wanted to thank you even before trying so I will update very soon or ehm well that depends on my "talentlessness" heheh

I think the local sent text explains a lot :3

May I ask you to try these steps. Download the latest release https://github.com/bobhelander/EDForceFeedback/releases/latest. Make sure the joystick is plugged in and turned on then just run the EDForceFeedBack.exe once and reply with the output. The device detection happens at the beginning and there is no need to run the program too long.

The output should look something like this:

Oh and both connected this happens but when I insert the xbox's guid nothing happens. BTW, I installed a xbox driver with all of the same output as saitek so it should've been work as it works with direct input tools.

Sorry I don't know if I'm bothering you but do you have a discord? Azorath#7017 <3

Also dou you have a list of effects list from the eliteapi not able to pull from them yet.

[bobhelander]

It looks as if the Cyborg should work. The Xbox controller is just a vibrate and I believe it already is supported in Elite directly. I have sent the Discord request (from user Axe) and we should be able to get the Cyborg working.

Thank you for the help. Your suggestions have been implemented and the new version 2.0.0.0 is available.
