TS-PC install issue #168

Hi, I moved your issue to a new thread since the original is getting a bit messy

Hello there,

First, I'm a beginner regarding Linux. I use Zorin OS 17.3 Core on Ryzen 9 5900 + 32GB RAM + RTX4070.
I own a TS-PC with both the Ferrari 488 Challenge Wheel and TM OPEN WHEEL ADD-ON.
I mostly play on BeamNG

Welcome to the Linux community, sorry you had to jump into the deep end with kernel modules. Hopefully you consider it a learning experience and not a too bad inconvenience :)

I installed Oversteer from @Potajito and followed every debian related step from https://github.com/Kimplul/hid-tmff2 since I read the TS-PC branch was included in the master.

Sorry, the TS-PC still lives in its own branch, tspc. TS-PC support is not quite as 'polished' as I'd like to allow it to be in the master branch, so you'll have to run something like

git clone https://github.com/Kimplul/hid-tmff2.git
cd hid-tmff2
git checkout tspc
git submodule update --init
sudo ./dkms/dkms_install.sh
sudo make udev-rules

Although admittedly it seems that a fair number of people have the TS-PC and it might benefit from getting merged into master, I might look into it in the near future.

Out of curiosity, what made you think the TS-PC was supported in master? If it's something I can edit to be more clear, I shall.

My issue is I cannot see my wheel in oversteer, I see it in Joystick but I have the strange jump in the response around the wheel's range center. Also pedals are treated as buttons instead of slider.

I believe these problems should disappear with the tspc branch. In short, by not using the tspc branch, your driver doesn't support the TS-PC, and the wheel without a driver behaves badly. I can go into a bit more detail if you're curious, but it's not important to understand by any means.

I read the entire thread but did not understood everything, am I missing something? What information should I brought to better explain my situation?

I don't know if this is your first time opening up an issue, but if it is, well done. These are the types of questions maintainers love to see :)

Hopefully switching to the tspc branch fixes the issues you're having, but if it doesn't, please show the output of sudo dmesg -w when plugging in the wheel.

Thank you.
