Yeah, there are some bugs in [hid].  Try [hidio], its a work in progress, but might work better.  I am not working on [hid] anymore since [hidio] is a replacement that will be much better.

Hans, hi again; it was only a permission problem, now everything works with hid. The [mouse] object still crashes Pd, but I don´t think I will need it, [hid] seems to do everything.
 
thanks for your kind and quick reply. Diego.

You need to have the devices in /dev/input/event*, otherwise [hid] won't work at all.  Check the archives of this list for more information, this question has been answered a number of times.

Hans, thanks again: now I succeded in compiling. After that I copied the sugested files to /extra and loaded the hid succesfully.
What now is wrong is that pd crashes when I want to access the mouse or keyboard objects. When using the hid object itself it seems ok,but it can't find a usefull device (it doesen't find anything in /dev/input/event[num]. I remember that I had this same problem with the linuxevent object some time ago).

Do I have to load other libraries (like cyclone, pddp,etc) to run hid properly or can I have it alone with a base pd?

Thanks again, Diego

I think syn_report and syn_config are interchangable, IIRC.

You'll get all the files you need if you try the 'rsync' method listed in the "Checking out the code from CVS" section of this page:


That's the code that is built every night in the auto-build farms.

Hi Hans and thanks, but I get the same error. I read the .c file you sent me and I noticed that the only differences with the one I had are the size and name of the char * where "syn_report" and "syn_config" are defined. Am I right?

Thanks again, Diego.

Well, here's perhaps an easier way: I just attached the two files:

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it.            - Thomas Jefferson
