I-BUS sterring buttons now working for RR

**gork** · 05-22-2005, 12:22 PM

The proper way to make it work is to close the serial port when the computer is about to enter hibernate and reopen it when the system resumes. I could do it, but I think the source may have been modified from the original to work with RR, so I was waiting to hear from CdRsKuLL on this point before I started into it.

I've been using this fine for hibernation.. no probs at all.. Gork r u going to the serial port or using a usb convertor ? I had to modify his files yeah.. I think I still have the source files for it, but as for hibernation its not been a problem

Yes; I can hibernate fine when the I-Bus is connected directly to a serial port, but the software needs the PM notifications when it's connected via a USB dongle... If you can dig up the source code, I'll try to get the modification done. Thanks!

CDR, Got a few questions for you... I have a BMW E34, I retrofitted the E46 M3 steering wheel in. The steering wheel itself is an I-bus controller, but what's required to get the buttons to work? As I said, I have an E34, which has no interface to the steering wheel... any guidance appreciated.

Gork, Did you get the source? are you working on this? I really really want it

I hate having to restart the ibus app every time i boot.

What do you mean ? I have 4 USB devices plugged in the car, 3 of which are pllugged into a usb HUB, I can hibernate and resume without any issues.. so what kind of dongle are you talking about ?
