HELP! cncjs-pendant-gamepad.js: No such file or directory

[jamhot1]

would really appreciate some help getting this setup. loaded CNCJS onto a RPI lite os version. have managed to setup SIXAD bluetooth but for some reason, after I install the gamepad and run I get no file or directory found errors, see below. I have limited experience with linux and have tried different versions of node (16 currently) still no ball. I will add that the install appears to go without errors apart from some vulnerabilities. I must be missing something crucial to get this going. I just don't have enough knowledge of linux to figure this out.

I have the same problems. The first messages you get are just missing json config files, I just copied the one in the src-folder and these went away.

The real error is here:
cncjs-pendant-gamepad/lib/connector.js:117 this.socket.on(msg, callback); ^ TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'on')

With only a brief look into the code it looks cncjs connection related. It fails here
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Handle receiving messages from cncjs socket server, or faking
// out for --fake-socket option.
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
subscribeMessage(msg: string, callback: any) {
if (!this.options.simulate)
this.socket.on(msg, callback);
log.info(this.logPrefix, Ready to listen for message '${msg}' from the socket.);
};

Running with "simulate" command does not crash it.

Ah, Not just me then. I was really keen to get this going but had to give up after nearly a week of my evenings and a weekend was sunk going around in circles with this. Please do post if you find a working system.

I have it working, but I need to fix my patch. Made a mess that needs to be some cleaning first . Geir tor. 14. nov. 2024, 10:20 skrev jamhot1 ***@***.***>:

Oh. I thought you still had problems when reading your last post. So you copied the configs in the src-folder and that allowed it to function? What is the problem with the connector you stated?

[grukx]

The code is not very forgiving when it comes to connecting to the gamepad. I use a wireless gamepad and I get this error when the gamepad is not connected. It starts ok when my gamepad is up and running, but crashes when I disconnect. I have a patch for this, but it conflicts with another pull request that attempts to fix related issues with the communication retries.

If you get the this.socket.on(msg, callback); error it is likely an issue with the gamepad not being connected and detected as it should.

[grukx]

Pushed some code to make this more robust. I run ok with both PR9 and my fixes. For testing you can pull them from the "dev" branch in https://github.com/grukx/cncjs-pendant-gamepad.git if you dont want to merge stuff yourself.

btw the description for getting this to work is pretty inaccurate - on my install with the latest cncjs I had to do this to get things working as it should. Note the use of a fixed IP and no serial information given for the cncjs-pendant

pm2 start $(which cncjs) -- --host 192.168.102.70 --port 8000 -w /home/ge/watch --allow-remote-access --controller Grbl
pm2 start /home/ge/cncjs-pendant-gamepad/bin/cncjs-pendant-gamepad.js -- -t Grbl --socket-port 8000 --socket-address 192.168.102.70 -vv run

Turns out that if you give the serial port to the pendant it will try to open it itself instead of going through cncjs. If you give --host 0.0.0.0 to cncjs it ends up binding to 127.0.0.1 for some reason, but works if you bind to the specific adapter address.

...and I recommend going through the commands that the pendant issues carefully before any hardware test, fun stuff can happen if this is not matched to your machine...
