![]() Powermate button push does "reboot", turn knob right does "echo Volume UP" and turn volume left does "echo Volume DOWN". Then I created evrouterrc config file with shell commands linked to Powermate output. (The setup for udev rules will be made better later on, but this works.) Made sure user pi was a member of the video group. Then I created /etc/udev/rules.d/les with the following content: Worked perfectly showing what control characters the Powermate outputs for each turn or knob press. ![]() Then I ran evrouter in debug mode to get output of Powermate control characters. Therefore I installed evrouter on a rpi2 with standard Raspbian that boots to GUI. Of course having the Powermate recognized by X is required for using either the xbindkeys or xinput -query-states script approaches. ![]() Or said another way possibly X does not have the Powermate in its list of input devices it recognizes (if that is even an issue). I thought possibly even IF I had the permissions all setup correctly for the Powermate, udev and X the Powermate may not be recognized by X as it may not be in its database of HID. ![]() Questions about the Powermate rpi2 driver and issues that X seemed not to recognize the Powermate as a HID were not answered. OK success running the evrouter program with the Griffin Powermate on a rpi2 (no I2C DAC card) on a Raspbian GIU install. ![]()
