Yes I see what you mean. If you are on linux you could try [linuxevent] from here:

http://at.or.at/hans/pd/hid.html

I use this on Arch due to this bug:

http://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/bugs/889/

[linuxevent] has finger detection so you can use this to gate the data stream.

Yep, I tried that already, but that doesn't work if you move the mouse slowly.

What about [change]?

Hi!

I am trying to use [hid] on pd vanilla and Ubuntu.

Ideally, I would like to use the mouse as a fader on Y axis : when I move the mouse, the fader moves accordingly, when the mouse doesn't move the fader stays in the same position.

Problem is, I can get only relative Y, and relative Y seems to keep sending the value (1 or -1) from the last move, even if you don't move at all. So basically it is impossible to detect that the mouse is not moving.

Is there a workaround this issue?
