Yes I use SteamVR Home and the two controllers show up as Vive controllers and are reasonably stable, but apart from movement left, right, up and down, none of the buttons work and rotation doesn’t work either. So the controllers can be in any orientation and it’s impossible to point them at anything.
There must be some way to get them working because Greg must have had them working stably to make the YouTube video, but although I have asked a couple of times what his setup was, he hasn’t helped at all.
Yes, I have the latest PSMoveService and in fact the latest Driver4VR (3.10 I think) is very sluggish.
Worse than Driver4VR 3.0.
I gave Greg quite a comprehensive report on the issues I had experienced and all I got back from him was and I quote “It works this way with fast move. Undortumately”.
So it seems that reporting issues to him is a waste of time.
Mind you, if you run PSMoveService by itself, and then run the PSMoveConfigTool, everything on the PSMove controller works properly, Movement, buttons, leds, rumble. everything. And not at all sluggish.
So it’s definitely the Driver4VR program that has the problems.
This is my problem as well… In psconfig tool all buttons work and rotation, but during steam menu or game I can’t select anything as controllers don’t work.
I’m about to mount my kinnect above my tv as I have had it underneath and ordered a dedicated pcie 3.0 card… Not that I expect this to fix controllers, but hopefully make actual tracking better.
After all this time and investment I will probably end up going pimax and vive tracking later next year. This is just a temp solution any way unless it gets “much better”
Also, if you install the latest version of Driver4VR without the PSMoveService installed, it will take you to the latest version of the 64bit installer.
PSMoveService Alone with Driver4VR did not take for my setup.
Used PSMoveSteamVRBridge 1.4.2:
Extracted/Ran SteamVR_InitialSetupWin64.bat and upon request navigated to where Steam was installed and the psmove drivers installed for SteamVR.
Driver4VR does not seem to configure anything PSMove Related except the button layout for which can be done manually in the steamvr.vrsettings file.
What gives?
Still had to go through the whole PSMove Color/Tracking setup process before DriverVR could see the controllers and what do you know, it crashes in Google Earth VR during tutorial when asked to drag Earth.
I don’t think so.
Were you able to get the buttons working in SteamVR Home?
Is it necessary to edit the button layout in the steamvr.vrsettings file for them to work?
The buttons worked No Problem and there was no need to configure manually, in fact, it does not appear to have anything to do with Driver4VR.
Uninstalled Driver4VR as an test and it seems PSMoveSteamVRBridge 1.4.2 auto configures the buttons yet the steamvr.vrsettings does not indicate any entries.
Been away for too long, the button layout config seems to have been moved to another file.
Offtopic:
While looking for the PSMove controller configs, managed to change Piplay Background:
Program Files\Pimax\runtime, simply replaced the pimax_default.jpg with another 2560x1440.jpg.
I notice this when running psmoveservice… Any ideas why I get an error? :)… I`. just using driver4vr and psmoveservice linked a few posts above… Am I meant to use freepie as I keep reading about that.
I have Deepoon E3, ps move controllers, driver4vr
very hard setup driver4vr

Thanks will give it a go… If you could mention on this thread that you have troubles too as I’m sure it will motivate him to fix faster… There is all ready two of us posted on there
