Hello all. Referring back to this wiki page: (http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/Joystick_port_as_GPI) ...I've started messing around with a hacked USB joystick circuitboard to create a simple Start/Stop/Next controller box for my home RD rig. I'm still really early into it and making tons of mistakes, but it should work out for me.
Since I'm only using one monitor, I will need to alternate between Airplay, RDPanel and CartSlots on the same screen. So say I put each one on its own Desktop (Panel on Desktop 1, Airplay on Desktop 2 etc). How about the ability to hit a button wired to the USB joystick circuit that would switch desktops? The perceived impression by the operator is that each button reveals a desired function of Rivendell, when in truth all functions are already open but are on selectable rotatable Desktops. So envision a box with six buttons. The first three reveal the desired RD element on-screen: * SELECT RDAIRPLAY * SELECT RDPANEL * SELECT RDCARTSLOTS And the next three have control over RDAirplay: * Airplay START * Airplay STOP * Airplay TOGGLE (live/auto) The second set is easy to do. For the first set, this is something that the window manager should be doing rather than being a function of RD. Does anyone have any thoughts on how this could be done? -AP _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
