Dualshock 4 controller not registering events

[tiferrei]

Hello there, I opened an issue from my replies on issue #27, when I connect my Dualshock 4 controller to my Mac, wireless or with the cable, events are detected by cylon-joystick-explorer, however with this code:

var Cylon = require('cylon');

Cylon.robot({
  connections: {
    joystick: { adaptor: 'joystick' }
  },

  devices: {
    controller: { driver: 'dualshock-4' }
  },

  work: function(my) {
    ["square", "circle", "x", "triangle"].forEach(function(button) {
      my.controller.on(button + ":press", function() {
        console.log("Button " + button + " pressed.");
      });

      my.controller.on(button + ":release", function() {
        console.log("Button " + button + " released.");
      });
    });

    my.controller.on("left_x:move", function(pos) {
      console.log("Left Stick - X:", pos);
    });

    my.controller.on("right_x:move", function(pos) {
      console.log("Right Stick - X:", pos);
    });

    my.controller.on("left_y:move", function(pos) {
      console.log("Left Stick - Y:", pos);
    });

    my.controller.on("right_y:move", function(pos) {
      console.log("Right Stick - Y:", pos);
    });
  }
}).start();

I only get the output:

[Robot 1] - Starting connections.
[Robot 1] - Starting connection 'joystick'.
[Robot 1] - Starting devices.
[Robot 1] - Starting device 'controller'.
[Robot 1] - Working.

Node Version: 7.0.0
macOS Version: 10.12.2 Beta (16C41b)

Am I doing something wrong in here?

Thank you,
tiferrei

I have also tested this with the cable plugged into an Ubuntu VM, exactly the same thing happens.

@tiferrei Resolved your issue? I am trying use the cylon-joystick com PS4 controller. It works with buttons, but with axis it goes into infnit loop. Ex: my.controller.on("right_x:move" ...

[tiferrei]

@manoelfilho nope, still having issues with it.

I'm having this issue on an intermittent basis with a DS3 connected via USB. Any solutions?

I fix similar problem by edit node_modules\cylon-joystick\lib\driver.js(47:7) commenting check by description && d.description === this.description. Because on my RPi dualshock is recognized like "Wireless Controller" but in config it's "PLAYSTATION(R)4 Controller".
So without this check it works perfect.

`/**

• Starts event handlers for the gamepad
• @param {Function} callback to be triggered when started
• @return {void}
  */
  Driver.prototype.start = function(callback) {
  this.handleJoystickEvents();

var devices = this.connection.getDevices();

// assign first controller matching description
for (var i = 0; i < devices.length; i++) {
var d = devices[i];

var match = (
  d.productID.toString() === this.productID.toString() &&
  d.vendorID.toString() === this.vendorID.toString() /*&&
  d.description === this.description*/
);

if (match) {
  this.controllerId = d.deviceID;
  break;
}

}

callback();
};`
