i would suggest you to use udev rules, it is quite easy.
for example here is a line i used for arduino to appear as /dev/arduino_SERIALNO:
KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{product}=="FT232R USB UART", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", SYMLINK+="arduino.port%n arduino_$attr{serial} arduino_$attr{serial}.port%n", RUN+="/bin/stty --file=/dev/arduino_$attr{serial}.port%n"
if i remeber correct [hid] wants the minor numbers, right?
read some udev rules example and you will figure ..if you are really in trouble - give us a shout.
hint: use udevadm control --reload-rules after you add or modified
something in /etc/udev/rules.d/
(btw, this the new udev command syntax, they keep changing it ..
the older one was like --reload_rules and before it was something else
too ;) so beware! )
so using udev rules the particular device will always have the same symlink in "/dev/". it up to you what you wanna name it ..
Hi,
does anybody know if I can receive the stdout that prints to the pd console?
I am trying to get the ID number of an hid gamecontroller / joystick automatically at startup. I tried sending "dmesg | grep Joystick" to the shell object which gives me the "hidraw" ID but not the one that Pd uses.
[print( - [hid] gives me the correct IDs but I don't know how to get these into pd.
Alternatively I could use the "hidraw" ID if I would know how to open the [hid] device with that ID.
Any help appreciated!
Ingo
