An update: I was able to get the Guitar Heroes controller to work
under OS X. From the post on Joystiq, they couldn't get the Xbox X- plorer controller that comes with the PC/Mac version to work under
OS X either. They were using it with Fret on Fire. OS X sees the
device but it will not work. This was my experience as well. I had
to install the Xbox 360 Controller driver (http://tattiebogle.net/ index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver) and after
setting that up, [hid] recognizes the device. I was able to test
it, and everything is reading perfectly.So have fun with your Guitar Heroes controller. I know I will.

Send the [print( message to [hid] and then look in the Pd window.
You should see the devices it recognizes there. From that you can
find the right device number to connect to in order to open that

Just an update. Bought PC/Mac version of Guitar Heroes III today.
Looks like the controller is an Xbox 360 version since the logo is
smack on there. Can't seem to get it recognized with [hid] on OS
X, but was able to get hidin help patch to recognize it. a bit of
garbage in the information it was spitting out, but the main
buttons work nicely. Any idea why OS X pd extended is not
recognizing the device? Maybe I'm not setting it up correctly.James

He says the Xbox version works fine with a computer while the PS2 version needs an adapter. The adapter looks like it is for adapting a different plug type, though, not for plugging in a USB PS2
controller.http://theguitarzeros.com/download_fretbuzz.php

On a related note, I just bought one of these very nice controllers called a gametrak. It is basically like two 3D joysticks but instead of sticks, it has strings which you can clip on to things to track them in 3D. The cheesy promo video gives you a good idea of what you can do with it:

I used one that Jonas Hielscher let me borrow and I plugged it in and it just worked with [hid]. I just got the one I ordered, it is a "PlayStation 2" controller, I am not sure which Jonas' is. But with mine, it shows up in [hid] fine, but I don't get any data from it.
Anyone know, is there something special about PS2 USB controllers?

Should just be HID protocol. Check the help patch for the [hid] object (in Extended or self-compiled) and see what parameters come in.
After
that, enjoy mapping them to something and rock out!

I've seen some developments with the Guitar Heroes controller on Max/MSP. I've been unable to get the one patch I found to really open in PD. I'd love to try to do something with it. Anyone has any experience developing and working with the Mac/PC version of the controller in PD? Any tips would greatly be appreciated.
