Leds flashing on 0.14 release on Yosemite 10.10.2 when wireless receiver is connected thru USB-hub

[janisc]

My wireless official Microsoft Xbox360 controller just blinks all four leds simultaneously when the receiver is connected thru USB-hub. The controller shows ok in the System Preferences XBox driver view and functions great in Super Meat Boy. For testing I removed all other devices from the USB-hub. The hub itself is simple 4-port hub with option to use external power source. I didn't use it and doubt it is about power.

The wireless controller and the receiver are the official Windows version of Microsoft XBox360 controller package.

I am willing to do further testing if this needed for fixing this issue.

There was a bug with the flashing leds that was fixed a some weeks ago, maybe it is related.
I built and signed a new package with the latest commit, you can download it here:

please test and tell us if it still happens.

The link gives me Error 404. And just to clarify: if I don't use USB-hub, in other words plug the receiver straight to my MacBook Pro's USB port, the LEDs work correctly.

I see, must be something else... but who knows? :P
The link should be working now, please try again.

Anyway, I will look for a unpowered usb hub this week, I need one anyway. :)

Seems to be fixed now with 0.15Preview3. Lights work correctly with or without USB-hub.

Actually, I am not sure anymore. Switched the controller on again and again I saw all light blinking. So, maybe it is best not to close this. I need to test some more to see, if there is a pattern.

Hey.
I couldn't get the 0.14_beta download to work with a wireless xBox 360 controller.
But your 0.15 compilation works great!

What about updating the download link for other users, after 3 Month?

Thanks for your work!

@MrOerni I finally got some spare time to work on this project, I hope to be able to release at last a beta of the 0.15 version soon

@janisc Is this bug still relevant?

[janisc]

I am pretty sure the problem was with my USB hub after all, so I think it is not relevant and this issue should be closed. Sorry about the confusion.

[RodrigoCard]

no problem! :)
