Griffin Powermate Driver Windows 10

Technical note: How to map physical USB bus location to a /dev/input/powermateXXsymlink via a udev rule, then how to map that device file to a xinput devicename for enumeration/selection by our driver. Follow the approach outlinedat the bottom of this thread for dual-touchscreen setups with identical touchscreen:

That video is perfect...I should have guessed Mike would have done a video - I just hadn't come across it.I note there are a few on ebay if others are interested.73 KJ4VPI, Sam More All Messages By This Member displayLikeStats("/g/SDRPlayUsers", 0, 193466097, false) Darrell M0ODH $('#timedispmsg193615579').replaceWith(DisplayShortTime(1633368218081330973, false)); #4134 Hi, I looked at this, but was concerned about installing the old driver and whether they'd continue to work in later releases of windows. In the end I got the ShuttleXpress instead;SHUTTLEXPRESS SDR Multifunction Wheel Remote Operation at £44.95 | Ham RadioDoesn't look at nice as the Powermate, but has extra buttons, so thought I'd post a link in case anyone's interested.

Please forgive iTypos etc!

I purchased a black version of the Griffin Powermate USB controller off ebay. Looks even nicer than the silver aluminum model. Very heavy knob. I followed the steps in Mike's video (link earlier in the thread). Had no problems thus far getting it to work under Win10 Pro.FWIW - I note there are a few silver Griffins on ebay at the moment if someone is interested. I don't know if a Bluetooth one would work or not.Too bad Griffin Technology stopped making these. I wonder if the AIMOS USB audio controller could be repurposed as a VFO tuning knob.

"Change Active Hours" (Win10) In Windows 10, go to "Windows Update" and change your "Active Hours" to reflect your time on the radio to prevent a windows update during the time your using PowerSDR. Privacy Settings (Win10) UnderWindows 10 you will want to turn all the new privacy settings and "how updates are delivered" to OFF (block) . Otherwise your computer will be allowed to constantly send data not only back to Microsoft & others, but allows others to use your computer as an "Update server". Microsoft "Store" (Win10) Open Windows STORE app. In the upper right corner ... click and select setup. Turn off automatic updates of Apps,otherwise Windows 10 will be constantly downloading and installing apps while PowerSDR is running. Microsoft monitoring (Win10) Turn OFF "Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry" (huge drive and cpu usage hog that can start running in the background at any time while running PowerSDR) (text procedure to disable it here) Turn OFF the following Windows "Task Scheduler" items: ---- Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry (huge drive and cpu usage hog) ---- Customer Experience Improvement ---- Power Efficiency Diagnostics ---- Windows Defender (start hard drive scans manually yourself when you want ) ---- Media Center (Since it Windows 10 no longer allows the program to run) Turn OFF the following Windows "Services": All the "Diagnostics ..." services including: policy, service, system, Tracking (assuming all your components are working) Lfsvc: Geolocation service windows 10 Fax: fax Homegrouplistener: Homegroup HomeGroup continuously scans your network for files, printer, devices, data Homegroupprovider: Homegroup Media Center: continuously scans your network. WMPNetworkSvc: Windows Media sharing Windows Search (indexing) continuously updates its index files every single time a file is created, which keeps the CPU(s) & Memory & HDD busy. Turn OFF network Printer SERVICE: HP and others have poorly written network printer Services that will continuously eat up CPU & Network. Turn OFF MSCONFIG STARTUP programs that check themselves for updates (i.e. java, adobe, apple. do the update checks yourself). You can use free CCLEANER.exe to find them and disable them. Schedule your Virus Checker program to update itself & scan at off hours. Dont run the virus scanner when you are using the PC. Many Virus scanner program do background optimization without your knowledge. Usually the only way to quiet them down is to put them into Gamer Mode or Silent Mode. Disable Windows automatic updates. Do the checks yourself. Leave your computer ON, set for HDD & monitor to turn off after 20min of no use. This way the OS doesnt spend time after start-up to do housekeeping. Some Video card drivers(i.e. Nvidia) include Gamer previews that download and update without your knowledge. You will want to make sure you check the "Task Manager" to see any programs that are running and delete them. If you have an NVidia card you will want to check this link to turn off the Nvidia PowerMiser feature: here Run "Task Manager" (right click on the task bar and select "Start Task Manager" then click on the "Show processes from all users". This will show all the hidden processes that require ADMIN privileges to stop. Check them to see if any sneaky programs are running. IF YOUR VIDEO CARD IS POOR: Go to System Properties-> Advanced ->Performance Settings-> Visual Effects->Adjust for best performance (to turn off the graphics extras that you probably dont need)

If your having trouble getting your Flex-3000 or Flex-5000 to connect to your FireWire card, it may be the driver. When Windows does an "overnight update", it sometimes updates the FireWire 1394 OHCI driver (switches drivers), which ends up causing trouble for some older hardware. (i.e. Your Radio works one day, but not the next) Microsoft Support if your Window 8 or Windows 10 FireWire card stops working or acts strange. Read and follow this link to fix it: -us/help/2970191/firewire-port-based-device-does-not-work-correctly-in-windows-8-1-or-w

WARNING: WDM-KS drivers are can cause crash issues (DirectSound is the safer alternative). With WDM-KS only 1 device can use a WDM-KS device at 1 time, so If you accidently try to open a 2nd PC program using a WDM-KS driver, the driver will crash, forcing you to reboot your PC. Also the windows Control panel->Sound does not show WDM-KS drivers. But you can see which devices have WDM-KS drivers in PowerSDR when you select WDM-KS as the driver and check INPUT and OUTPUT devices. 2b1af7f3a8
