Howdy fellow pd-ers,
I finally moved my robotcowboy osc device daemon to autotools. It grabs joystick and wiimote event data and slings it over osc.
You can find it on my website, its called rc-unitd.
It was developed for Linux and uses udev rules to automatically start listening to joysticks when they are plugged in and you can set osc address names to specific joysticks (although not usb ports yet). It also has experimental wiimote support using libcwiid.
This is not meant as a replacement for [hid] but was developed as part of my wearable performance project. You just set your rules, turn on the daemon and plug and play.
Let me know if it works ... there's quite a bit I'd like to do with it. If there's enough interest I'll go to sourceforge.
