Since I was working on the Guitar Heroes controller and [hid], I tried plugging in my old Microsoft Sidewinder controller. It read perfectly. This is OS X. So with that controller you get 8 trigger buttons, 1 select buttons, and d-pad with variable values. Perfect simple way as something to trigger events.

Try [hid]. My project, robotcowboy, makes use of hacked gamepads and a custom joy -> OSC daemon in Linux. I'm getting ready to release it soon, so if you use Linux you could try that. For instance, I cut a gamepad up and wrapped it around my old trumpet. pic1, pic2, a short pd session with it There's lots of cool stuff you can for cheap. Also, old console gamepads (psx, ps2, gamecube) are readily available and all you need is a usb converter. I've found aftermarket playstation controllers the perfect hackables. -- Dan Wilcox danomatika www.robotcowboy.com -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
