8bitdo adapter 2

[25glitch]

Just got 8bitdo adapter 2 stick adapter 1 not responding to Xbox series x controller on ogx360 and 8bitdo adapter 2 won’t stay powered on anyone have a solution to this

[Ryzee119]

EDIT: For visibility - the 8bitdo 2 adaptor does work however must be on 8bitdo 1.0 FW currently.
Thanks, im aware of this issue but do not have this new adaptor to test.

Could you please:

1. Provide a usb descriptor dump of the device. On windows I use this https://www.thesycon.de/eng/usb_descriptordumper.shtml
2. Ideally use wireshark to get a enumeration log from Windows which I assume it works in Windows

Thanks, I think there's something tricky going on here. Does it eventually appear as a xbox controller in Windows?

0x02 iProduct "IDLE" is weird. It probably is looking for some commands to get it going at startup.

I need to try grab one, but its sold out by the looks of it

[25glitch]

it's on amazon got one two days ago

[25glitch]

it might have something to do with microsoft switching to from Classic to BLE bluetooth last september

[Ryzee119]

@25glitch glad you got one but theyre sold out now

So this will be on hold until they're back in for me unless someone else investigates it further

[CaptMoore]

If it matters, they are available on amazon again. I just ordered one for 2 day delivery.

Thanks for looking into it.

[Ryzee119]

@CaptMoore thanks for the heads up
Ive ordered but im in Australia so prob a few weeks away

[Ryzee119]

Ive got my 8bitdo receiver now and can replicate this issue. I'll investigate asap to see if we can get it going

[Ryzee119]

Progress. Still needs a bit of love, but I worked out what it's doing and it is working

Probably would recommend changing the hyperlink on the front page since they posted that Xbox notice

firmware 9aee4cd.zip
Please try this firmware. Depending how old your firmware is (not updated since ~june 2021) you may need to update all arduino modules (otherwise just the 'master' module is needed)

Seems to work fairly well. Rumble works too :)

[CaptMoore]

Thanks, I am going to go out of town tomorrow for a week, but can check it after I get back. I am sure others will be able to check it first.

[Ryzee119]

From what I can tell, if the blue LED on the 8bitdo adaptor blinks twice every second or so, its initialised ok and looking for a previously paired controller.
If the LED stops blinking, ive done something wrong.

Just pair a controller as per normal and once a controller is paired and connected the LED goes solid and we're in business.

[Ryzee119]

Closing. This has been merged into master branch. and got feedback from a couple people that this is working.

[CaptMoore]

Thanks. Life has gotten in the way of testing this myself, and the task of flashing the ogx via command lines is pretty daunting (but I have done it before) so I never tried to run the beta firmware. I am looking forward to updating this when life lets me.

This issue is present on firmware 2.15. The 8bitdo adapter 2 shuts itself off or does not receive power after ~1-2 seconds when plugged in directly into the ogx360s USB-A socket (only blinks shortly two times). The red led of the master arduino does not light up, too.
The behavior should be like with the 8bitdo adapter 1: The led of the adapter blinks shortly two times, pause, blinks shortly two times, pause, etc... until you press the sync button or connect an already synced controller. Additionally, the red light of the master arduino indicating a connected device lights up.
Strangely, the 8bitdo adapter 2 works as it should when I do not plug it in directly, but use a usb 2.0 extension cord in between.

Edit: I have four 8 bitdo adapter 1 and 2s (I wanted to sell the 1s but I will wait until the issue is resolved) and the behaviour is the same for all four.

I may need to revisit to see something has changed 🤔

I have the new 8bitdo adaptor v2 and can have the same issue like @senolfeldmann. The problem is that you can't buy the orange v1 adaptors anymore. So the V2 adaptor is the only available adaptor atm.

[Ryzee119]

Looks like

[Ryzee119]

Looks like the 8bitdo FW update to 1.1 broke something. Feedback is that it still works on the 8bitdo 1.0 FW which is easy to downgrade to.
Ive tried to fix it but not had much luck yet

[25glitch]

I’m thinking the board may have to be rebuilt from scratch to accommodate the adapter 2 probably cause it was designed more for the orange brick in mind rather than the black one

I do confirm this, now they ship new with v1.01FW and there is a update to v1.02FW (doesn't work). Reverted the FW to v1.0 FW and the stick works.

I bought the 8bitdo adapter 2 last week and also just got an ogx360 mini. They seem to work perfectly together. I played some games for a few hours without issue using a 2020 model Xbox One controller.

There is one little quirk in that the 8bitdo won't automatically reconnect to the gamepad on power up of the Xbox. I have to press the 8bitdo's power button and then it connects. On a Windows PC the adapter does automatically connect. I updated the firmware of the 8bitdo to the most recent but the behavior with the ogx360 is the same.
