Jeff Thanks. With hal_input -KRAL Event3
I see the device, it has pins, the buttons go true and false (although the numbering is very odd) and the counts/positions move when you turn the Shuttle's "bits" - although in a very peculiar and interrelated way :=) Lots of things to explore - whether I can get it recognised by its "Bus= " stuff, why the default with no -KRxx argument does not load any device and what events the blooming thing actually sends. But as it talks to me that is all possible. I think I will try to modify and run your code more or less freestanding so I can use the Python debugger - and see what the device is actually sending.
