This version of [hid] fixes the crasher bug when you try to open a non-existant device.
I am currently working on making a suite of objects for mapping controller data. I am making a number of objects like [mouse], [joystick], etc. which all output range (0 to 1 for axes). Then the mapping objects all take data of this range and output 0 to 1 so that the data can be easily mapped and scaled to parameters. Included are log, square root, and cube root; and exponent, square, and cube; as well as a basic smoothing object.
The overarching idea for these objects is to make clearly defined, high-level objects for beginners and for rapid prototyping when using external controllers in Pd patches. At least point I am looking for ideas, comments, etc. about other possible mapping functions

Hey Hans,
What "smoothing" algo are you thinking of? I've been very very happy with the low-pass method that Thomas suggested some time ago. Gives you a great feeling of enertia.
I'm looking forward to a proper HCI tablet driver for OSX or dirrect wacom support in HID.
I think this is a great project.
I will find the auto-scaling stuff very useful in the near future I think...
Thanks for your efforts.
Ben
