Since Hans pointed out it doesn't work under OSX, I think the next
best
option is for me to write an external that uses SDL calls to read from
the joystick, since that library works on all platforms. Will report
back here when that's done.
When I started [hid], I explored many options including SDL. It
provides a very limited interface to the devices, but is relatively
easy to use. I suppose an SDL object would be useful in specific
circumstances, like on obscure platforms. Do you have a specific
problem with [hid] besides not working on Windows?
Not at all. If [hid] was working on Windows, and easy to compile on
Linux, I think I'd go with that.
You could also join Olaf Matthes, David Merrill, and I on working on
the next generation of [hidin]/[hid]/[input_noticer] that will work
on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. By lucky chance, David was in NYC
so we met yesterday about this. And by another lucky chance, Olaf
is getting into NYC and we are going to be meeting about this soon.
That sounds really cool. I look forward to a time when it's easy to
get joystick events into Pd in a cross-platform way. In the meantime
I might write a very simple SDL external to do just what I need, or
persue Frank's idea of wrapping [joystick] and [hid] depending on the
platform. I'd definately switch to what you guys are working on once
it's working on all platforms though.
Yes, being able to easily connect a joystick on any platform should be a
right, not a privilege within PD. :) We'll be getting started asap.
Also, in general I think that there are neat possibilities for hacking
other off-the-shelf hardware for instrument-building - to build the
sensor into another instrument. Like many of the new wireless optical
mice that have been released for really cheap lately.. For less than
$10USD, they present a cheap, wireless 2D motion sensor that will also
work with HID. Also, I'm looking forward to the price coming down on these:

Power it with a battery and build it into your device, and your
instrument can have several such hacked USB peripherals connected
wirelessly back to your PC-as-synth.
cheers,
-David
Best,
Chris.
