Two original xbox controllers

bagowarrior

I can get one controller working all fine. Plug in the second and I can either get 1 working on none depending what I edit.

I've tried adding the following to the /etc/rc.local file:

xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --id 0 --led 2 --detach-kernel-driver --deadzone 4000 --silent & sleep 1
xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --id 1 --led 3 --detach-kernel-driver --deadzone 4000 --silent & sleep 1

I get two controllers loaded. PiMame then tries to load xboxdrv again (I'm assuming another script holds the xboxdrv command somewhere) and then I get Error couldn't claim the USB interface: LIBUSB_ERROR_BUSY
Try to run 'rmmod xpad' and then xboxdrv again or start xboxdrv with the option --detach-kernel-driver.

First - where should I be configuring the controllers? Is rc.local the correct place?
Second - where is the xboxdrv loading from so I can stop it if not in the rc.local file?

Cheers

As for the second one, I think it is in /home/pi/.profile but I could be mistaken.
That sort of answers your first one too... To run two programs at same time use this

#!/bin/bash

for cmd in "$@"; do {
  echo "Process \"$cmd\" started";
  $cmd & pid=$!
  PID_LIST+=" $pid";
} done

trap "kill $PID_LIST" SIGINT

echo "Parallel processes have started";

wait $PID_LIST

echo
echo "All processes have completed";

Save it as

runtwo.sh

Make it executable

chmod +x runtwo.sh

and use like

./runtwo.sh "xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --id 0 --led 2 --detach-kernel-driver --deadzone 4000 --silent & sleep 1" "xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --id 1 --led 3 --detach-kernel-driver --deadzone 4000 --silent & sleep 1"

Good luck and hope it works
