setExtras timeout error

[martindb]

I'm trying to use a clone dualshock 3 controller (Shanwan controller) in my fresh installed rapsbian / rpi 3.

First, I have problems with pairing/using the controller with BT, so, I'm finally using a patched bluez version to get it work (see https://raspberryblog.de/?p=1870).

With this issue solved, I have problems with cncjs-pendant-ps3, exactly in the setExtras invocation, some seconds after starting, I got this error (it sets the leds according to battery level right):

root@raspberrypi:/usr/lib/node_modules/cncjs-pendant-ps3# cncjs-pendant-ps3 -p /dev/ttyUSB0 [ { vendorId: 1356, productId: 616, path: '/dev/hidraw0', serialNumber: '03:c7:98:6e:63:25', manufacturer: '', product: 'PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller', release: 0, interface: -1 } ] Waiting for Pendant to connect... please press the PS button on the DS3 controller.

Error: Cannot write to HID device at Controller.setExtras (/usr/lib/node_modules/cncjs-pendant-ps3/node_modules/dualshock-controller/src/controller.js:131:16) at Timeout.updateControllerExtras [as _onTimeout] (/usr/lib/node_modules/cncjs-pendant-ps3/index.js:803:16) at ontimeout (timers.js:386:14) at tryOnTimeout (timers.js:250:5) at Timer.listOnTimeout (timers.js:214:5)

Then, if I just comment the setExtras invocation, I can get the pendant working great, but no battery leds or rumble feedback:

            // Send Extras Updates
            setInterval(updateControllerExtras, 500);
            function updateControllerExtras() {
            ///             controller.setExtras({
            ///             rumbleLeft:  ps3_rumble_left,   // 0-1 (Rumble left on/off)
            ///             rumbleRight: ps3_rumble_right,   // 0-255 (Rumble right intensity)
            ///             led: ps3_led // 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 (Leds 1-4 on/off, bitmasked)
            ///     });

                    //console.log("ps3_rumble_left: " + ps3_rumble_left);
                    //console.log("ps3_rumble_right: " + ps3_rumble_right);
            }

If I make a simple nodejs code calling the setExtras function, I can control the leds and rumbling without problems.

Any idea?

Attach the modified index.js (you might post as a gist ( https://gist.github.com ) ) This seems a bit odd. At first glance it should fail to run with how its posted. This is a clone dualshock 3 controller, so things might operate very differently.

Here it is. https://gist.github.com/martindb/aab2d7c4dc52112ca7c5f4e3e0d785b4 I known you have programmed this pendant using an original sony controller, but also I want to share with others with same problem, they can use the patched bluez suporting shamwan chip, and commenting the setExtras invocation.
