Unfortunately [hidraw] doesn’t output anything for me at all on two computers (Debian & Windows 10) on either outlet.
After listing the devices (manually each time!) the only action that I can get from it is crashing Pd. I tried both [open $1 ( with the “devicenumber”and [open-vidpid “n” “n”(. No output at all – even if I knew the same number was working perfectly with [hid]. (I did close the device number before opening a new one each time. It didn’t make a difference closing all devices on hid.) On each search that I made with [open $1( my software / computer crashed. With [open-vidpid “n” “n”( there were no crashes but also nothing else happened. I guess I’ll stick with [hid] that is working and does not crash my Pd or entire operating system. The only downside of [hid] is that vid / pid or devife type (like mouse) doesn’t work. But it isn’t working on [hidraw] either and the latter doesn’t even exist. I’m not sure if it has anything to do with my configuration but from what I see I don’t see any reason for prefering [hidraw] over [hid]. So wasting one day is enough for me to see that there is definitely no advantage in my case. Maybe having [hid] run at the same time has something to do with it? Maybe others will have more luck than I had . . . Ingo Von: Lucas Cordiviola <[email protected]> Gesendet: Freitag, 26.

Hi Ingo, You can try https://deken.puredata.info/library/hidraw You can open a device via its VID PID. From the help patch: "open device via VID PID (shown in the console if you did "listdevices"). Note that the VID PID is hard-coded in the device and this can be used (later) without a prior "listdevices" message." The help patch also includes links to the web on how to set HID permissions. You can connect [hidraw] | [print] to see which bytes (in the list) change when you press the mouse buttons. -- Mensaje telepatico asistido por maquinas.

The main problem is that “open by device type” is not working and I have to search the device number each time. I have some automated method for searching but it still takes up too much time when restarting frequently. Once I have the device number it works very well well, though! (I need 6-8 different mouse buttons . . . ) I remember seeing something a while ago about either a new or updated alternative [hid] object. However, I’m not sure what it was and I don’t remember if this was even for Linux at all. Making a quick search didn’t give me any results. Can anyone enlighten me if there is something working more reliably with finding the mouse without havin to search manually each time?
