Home Page Forums MAME Non-Windows MAME Support Use Griffin PowerMate as a spinner. MAME on Fedora

I found this. https://askubuntu.com/questions/138...-volume-controller-new-64-bit-desktop-ub But I couldn't get the evrouter to compile. Out of date. https://www.bedroomlan.org/projects/evrouter/

Can someone help me out please?

Edit: Look like the evrouter will load from the evrouter_0.4_amd64.deb. Unzip it into the evrouter folder. Just the evrouter alone for a test.

··• ./evrouter
./evrouter: no devices specified.
Usage: evrouter [OPTION...] EVENT-DEVICE ...
Try `evrouter --help' or `evrouter --usage' for more information.

I will start from the HowTo from the first link. Be later. Should work.

Edited 2.

I couldn't get it to work.

===================

echo 3971468 | sudo -S ./evrouter /dev/input/*

device 9: /dev/input/event17: Griffin PowerMate
device 23: /dev/input/powermate: Griffin PowerMate

===================

Step 1.

Make a file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules with the content.

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{product}=="Griffin PowerMate", KERNEL=="event?", NAME="input/powermate"

===================

Step 2.

Create group called powermate add yourself and other users to that group.

echo 3971468 | sudo -S groupadd powermate
echo 3971468 | sudo -S usermod -aG powermate $USER

===================

Step 3.

Now create the file /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions-powermate.rules and add the following.

ATTRS{product}=="Griffin PowerMate" GROUP="powermate", MODE="0666"

===================

Step 4.

Create /etc/evrouterrc with the following content.

Window ""
"Griffin PowerMate" "" any key/256 "XKey/XF86AudioMute"
"Griffin PowerMate" "" any rel/7/1 "XKey/XF86AudioRaiseVolume"
"Griffin PowerMate" "" any rel/7/-1 "XKey/XF86AudioLowerVolume"

===================

Step 5.

Create an executable file /usr/local/bin/powermate with the content.

#!/bin/sh
exec evrouter -c /etc/evrouterrc /dev/input/event17

===================

Step 6.

Copy the evrouter over to the /user/bin/

echo 3971468 | sudo -S cp /mnt/sdb1/evrouter/evrouter /usr/bin/

===================

Step 7.

Run.

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/powermate

I got it to work.

Be sure to unzip to get the evrouter file from the evrouter_0.4_amd64.deb. Open the Konsole from your evrouter folder after that. Leave it open.

Step 1.

Find event number.

sudo ./evrouter /dev/input/*

Here is mine.

device 9: /dev/input/event17: Griffin PowerMate
device 23: /dev/input/powermate: Griffin PowerMate

Step 2.

Create .evrouterrc with the following content. Save it into the HOME folder.

This is for my spinner devuice.

Window ""
"Griffin PowerMate" "" any key/256 "XButton/2" # click
"Griffin PowerMate" "" any rel/7/1 "XButton/5" # scroll >
"Griffin PowerMate" "" any rel/7/-1 "XButton/4" # scroll <

Step 3.

Run the command with your event number from your spinner. Note: Won't work using the sudo.

./evrouter /dev/input/event22

Look like this running.

··• ./evrouter /dev/input/event22
device 0: /dev/input/event22: Griffin PowerMate
Display name: :0
Parsed 3 rules, 216 bytes

When you run it again on the second time. You will get this.

./evrouter: error creating /tmp/.evrouter:0: File exists

Please make sure this file can be created, no other instance of
this program is running on X display :0. Remove the file
/tmp/.evrouter:0 if no other instance is running.

You have to kill it from running. Delete it after that. sudo rm -rf /tmp/.evrouter:0 Then run it again.
