Ah crap. Yeah that was stupid. Okay, I did some printouts and it appears
it's reading axes fine. I was under the impression that they were called
balls in SDL instead of axes. I guess that would explain why current SDL
games still work with joysticks. :P
However, hats *are* still not working. (I tested with a joystick and a
gamepad, both Logitechs) When you get a gamepad, here's a pygame test
program to run:
import pygame
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480))
joy = pygame.joystick.Joystick(0)
joy.init()
print "Joy Name:", joy.get_name()
print "Num Hats:", joy.get_numhats()
print "Num Balls:", joy.get_numballs()
print "Num Axes:", joy.get_numaxes()
running = 1
while running:
pygame.time.wait(10)
for e in pygame.event.get():
if e.type == pygame.QUIT:
running = 0
axis1_state = joy.get_axis(1)
axis2_state = joy.get_axis(2)
print "Axis 1 State:", axis1_state
print "Axis 2 State:", axis2_state
#Uncomment below to test hats. Raises error: "invalid joystick hat"
#hat_state = joy.get_hat(0)
#print "Hat State:", hat_state
Output:
Joy Name: Logitech Logitech Dual Action
Num Hats:SDL_JoystickNumHats value:0:
0
Num Balls: 0
Num Axes: 6
