Hi. Sorry, I’ve been offline for a bit (and it looks like you and I are in different timezones?)
Anyways, here is the exact code I built:
http://downloads.roaminggamer.com/fire/Pong-Greenthrottle-master.zip
I hope this helps.
One more thing. I went and cleared out the ‘Corona Simulator/plugins/’ folder (near Sandboxes ) just to be safe and to get a new download of the plugin.

Clearing out the plugins folder was a very good idea but it didn’t help. Once it downloaded the greenthrottle plugin zip I had to manually extract it to fix the console errors. I’m still having the same ‘app not installed’ problem.
No luck with your code either. I get the feeling I’m being stupid but it’s odd how your same error went away like that.
My colleague has tried building it on the mac mini with the latest build (1106). I downloaded the build he made and it installed fine!
So I’ve since tried with 1106 on my mac. I get the same error: app not installed. I also cleared out the plugins folder.
I’m beginning to think Green Throttle don’t like me. Help!
Has anyone got Walter’s new sample working? I notice the build.settings file has NO mention of greenthrottle. Is this right?
Argh, good catch! We just fixed it. Do you have a greenthrottle controller?
Yes we have a Green Throttle! (Still waiting for an Ouya and GameStick to arrive.)
Damn, I was hoping the omission was intentional. I’m now back to the previous error message I had. On installing it just gives the message: “App not installed.”
I’m using:
Windows 8 64-bit
Corona SDK Build 1100 (not enterprise)
The same thing happens on both our Nexus 7 and Galaxy S4.
Do plugins only work on enterprise?
Is it possible to use the Green Throttle controller with the simulator or is are plugins another device only feature?
Does the simulator automatically download the latest plugin version?
Thanks,
Ian
I’ve been pinging the GT folks to update the documentation about how to set it all up.
Just a guess, but I think this may be talking about the Arena app that needs to get installed?
Hi Walter, I use the Arena app to make sure my controller is properly paired before starting a game like Gunslugs.
My problem though is installing the Corona app I have built, in this case the Pong sample. I download the apk to the device, press install and it gives me the error message: “App not installed.”
Does it work for you?
Same problem with the Mac on 1094. Builds won’t install.
Has anyone managed to get the Green Throttle plug-in working yet or are we the first trying it?
Tried build 1114 today. It’s now working fine. Would be nice to know there was a reason why.
We’ve noticed the values from the analogue sticks max out far before the maximum throw of the sticks though. Also, when held at an angle the value really flicker around. Is this a Green Throttle thing or does is it the plugin?
Ed, I hear you’re an optimisation ninja, can I pick your brains?
re: First questions: I can’t answer your initial general questions about the stick maxing out and flickering input yet. On my list is to convert this template to Green Throttle, but haven’t started yet.
re: Second question: Sure, what kind of optimization problems are you encountering? I’m not sure I’m a ninja, but a second set of eyes or an ‘alternate brain’ helps sometimes.
Note: I can be contacted directly here if the topic/code is confidential or sensitive: 
** UPDATED POST **
You’re not alone.
I too am having this problem with Pong-Greenthrottle
I’m using:
I’m switching to Enterprise and giving it another go… will post back.
I just gave this a try with this config:
Still no joy.
I’m trying Enterprise next, but I’m still a neophyte with it, so don’t hold your breath.
Do you get the same problem?
Yes. I’m getting the ‘App not installed’ message when I try to install.
Again, building without the build.settings file allows me to install but not run the demo. I think you saw the same behavior, yes?
-Ed
Yes, exactly.
Okay, so about the “App not installed” issue using Corona SDK (not Enterprise), we don’t know what happened but there was an Android SDK update we had to install.
Can you guys try again with the latest daily build? You’ll need to use the original build.settings from Pong-Greenthrottle.
Incidentally, if you were using ‘adb’ command line tool to install (instead of downloading the apk), you would have seen this error:
Failure [INSTALL\_FAILED\_DEXOPT]
Just note that Player 1 is set up for the left side even though the ball goes to the right by default, so you need 2 controllers to really play with it!
Sorry for the delay. I spent the morning writing articles… Now on to the test.
I downloaded the latest build for Windows (CoronaSDK 2013.1101)
I installed and built on Windows 7
Uploaded to Nexus 7
Installed - SUCCESS!
Ran Arena to get device connected to controller.
Ran Pong
Moved Left Paddle with Controller 1
I’ll have to hook up controller 2, but so far it looks good
Thanks!
