hello all,
as for the recent discussion about the [hid] object, i just have uploaded two pdf documents to my site:
http://mamalala.de/Hut1_11.pdf - HID Usage Tables http://mamalala.de/HID1_11.pdf - HID Specs
of most interrest here are the usage tables, i think.
as you can see there, there is a number of choices how single number (event-type) is mapped to the hid-name. it all depends on the selected usage tables.
btw, i would say that it is a good idea to use the names as specified in that document. after all, its how that standard is defined.....
and i agree that hid is of limited use when it comes to many sensors/actuators. the problem is that all the data is parsed (as defined in the descriptors) in the hid driver of the os once, and a second time inside/after the [hid] object.
greetings,
chris
