setExtras timeout error

[martindb]

I'm trying to use a clone dualshock 3 controller (Shanwan controller) in my fresh installed rapsbian / rpi 3.

First, I have problems with pairing/using the controller with BT, so, I'm finally using a patched bluez version to get it work (see https://raspberryblog.de/?p=1870).

With this issue solved, I have problems with cncjs-pendant-ps3, exactly in the setExtras invocation, some seconds after starting, I got this error (it sets the leds according to battery level right):

root@raspberrypi:/usr/lib/node_modules/cncjs-pendant-ps3# cncjs-pendant-ps3 -p /dev/ttyUSB0
[ { vendorId: 1356,
productId: 616,
path: '/dev/hidraw0',
serialNumber: '03:c7:98:6e:63:25',
manufacturer: '',
product: 'PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller',
release: 0,
interface: -1 } ]
Waiting for Pendant to connect... please press the PS button on the DS3 controller.

Then, if I just comment the setExtras invocation, I can get the pendant working great, but no battery leds or rumble feedback:

            // Send Extras Updates
            setInterval(updateControllerExtras, 500);
            function updateControllerExtras() {
            ///             controller.setExtras({
            ///             rumbleLeft:  ps3_rumble_left,   // 0-1 (Rumble left on/off)
            ///             rumbleRight: ps3_rumble_right,   // 0-255 (Rumble right intensity)
            ///             led: ps3_led // 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 (Leds 1-4 on/off, bitmasked)
            ///     });

                    //console.log("ps3_rumble_left: " + ps3_rumble_left);
                    //console.log("ps3_rumble_right: " + ps3_rumble_right);
            }

If I make a simple nodejs code calling the setExtras function, I can control the leds and rumbling without problems.

Any idea?

Attach the modified index.js (you might post as a gist ( https://gist.github.com ) )
This seems a bit odd. At first glance it should fail to run with how its posted.
This is a clone dualshock 3 controller, so things might operate very differently.

Here it is.

I known you have programmed this pendant using an original sony controller, but also I want to share with others with same problem, they can use the patched bluez suporting shamwan chip, and commenting the setExtras invocation.
