First off, I have to say, El Lechero looks very nice. I am eagerly
awaiting seeing it in action.
Upon re-reading this email, I am not entirely sure what I changed in
0.6 to fix it. ( I have some guesses). Is the slow, cludginess
totally gone?
Is your Desktop running a 2.4 kernel and your laptop a 2.6 kernel?

Hans,
firstly, thanks a million for the hid device. it's something that is really appreciated.
...however, I am having some difficulties using it.
I just built a USB device which you can see here:
I was about to present it yesterday, but was having some major problems with the [hid] object. I tested and built a patch with [hid] input on a desktop machine running gentoo, and it was working
*perfectly*
- fast, stable and clean. I had it running all day and was editing a
running other patches at the same time. however, on my laptop running ubuntu, it was slow and cludgy, no matter how I set the polling. Whats also strange about this is that I changed the enumeration on my device
so that 13 axis that I have show up properly in the registered abs_x,
abs_y, etc. that you have in the 0.5 hid version. With the new enumeration, I can get [hid] to run and work perfectly on my desktop, however with the same code and with the same device, it crashes PD immediately when I
turn the [hid] object on on my laptop. [a simple (if !=null) statement
that I sent the other day will keep it from segfaulting, however. I just
find it curious how it works on one machine but doesn't on another - I don't
know much about USB]so, for the presentation that was scheduled, I needed a working solution on a laptop, ...and since everyone around me uses a mac, and since I thought you were developing [hid] for the mac, I decided to
try it there. I downloaded your installer for PD with the hid object
included, but to my surprise, the situation was even worse on the mac - the
response from the [hid] object is _very_ slow and _very_ cludgy. I tried it on
a coupla different macs, but got the same situ. In desperation I tried
to set something up quick using supercollider on the mac, but the
HIDdevice there was even worse.I'd like to help debug if possible, but I don't really know where to start.
thats my hid story so far.
-august.
