Hello all, Over the past few weeks, I have been looking at building a controller for myself, but was curious what other sorts of things others are doing with alternate controllers. What controllers are you using? How are you using them to control your programs? Has anyone considered putting together an "Alternate Controllers for PD" page?
Hi,
An alternate controllers page sounds awesome. Someone should get that happening on the Pure Data portal.
I wrote some software for the Nintendo DS which allows you to create dynamic interfaces on the DS touch screen and they talk back to your Pure Data patches in real time. It's pretty fun and a super-cheap way of getting lemur[1] style control over your patches. It talks to your patches over wifi and uses the FUDI protocol. There is also a ROM (FUDIKaosDS) which emulates a Kaos pad style interface on your DS. You can download them both here:

Have fun!
Best,
Chris.
