[hidin] is included in the Pd-extended nightly builds. Work has just
started on [hidio], which is the next generation of [hid] It will
support Windows. No release date yet, we are working on it.

Since Hans pointed out it doesn't work under OSX, I think the

option is for me to write an external that uses SDL calls to

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:
http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/peripherals/cut-the-cord-usb-runs-
free-with-freescale-149775.php 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.
