Absolute value. So if the last value was -3 and the mouse stop moving, it stays there. What I meant was that if the number was greater than absolute value of 1, and the mouse stops, it stays there. I put abs(1) because the sign is logical. If I move from right to left it stays in a negative number, what seems correct. If it is in the oposite direccion it stays in a positive number, so the sign thing seems to work fine. What number is it supposed to give if thereŽs no movement?   one?
When moving fast it always have this problem
Could it be some delay between the on of the mouseŽs led and the "data transfer" from the os to pd?
I tried it with two mouses ,one with a led-cam-dsp system and the other with a ball-system, and they had the same behavior.
Sorry if I wasnŽt clear enough.

I read your question again, and I don't quite get it.  What's abs(1)?

Hans, thanks for your reply. I'm working with hidio because it works better, with my configuration, than the hid.

thanks again, Diego.

First off, I must say [hidio] can be quite rough since it's very alpha.  But I am glad to have people testing it, with that in mind. But if you are using [hidio] and not [hid], and you are getting "rel_x" as a message, then that is a bug.  "rel_x" is the old [hid] style messages.  [hidio]'s messages look like [relative x 0 1(

Hi. I'm using the hidio object with a mouse and it seems there's something I'm not getting. The problem is when routing the list from the rel_x to obtain the x relative axes; the value, sometimes, is greater than abs(1) when the mouse is not moving. Is this behavior correct? Is this a bug? Has it anythig to do with the numbers hidio gets from the /dev/event$ or something within the OS?
I'm using a Debian based distro.

Thanks, Diego.
