Hi all!

I was wondering if anybody could provide me with some feedback about any experience with a gamepad and [hid]. I use a DIY stompbox i made from a (very) cheap analog gamepad, and i am experiencing some trouble with the data i get from the analog potentiometers (i put one of them in an expression pedal). Basically, 3 pots out of 4 don't cover the entire theoretical range (0 to 256) and can only provide an input up to about 150. The last pot does cover the whole range, but in a non-linear fashion. So i was thinking of making another stompbox with a better quality gamepad, but i want to make sure the problem comes from the cheap gamepad i used and not from [hid] itself. By the way i use Pd-extended on Fedora 12 with the Planet CCRMA rt-kernel.

Best,

Pierre

PS : it goes without saying that i did check the value of the pots in the gamepad before replacing them.
