HCS--
What is the current status of HID on Windows? I vaguely remember
reading that it was in beta status, although I couldn't find it on
at.or.at...
I ask because I just finished a work which uses a joystick for input,
and I'd like to write documentation on how to run the program on various
platforms. I'm hoping HID is already incorporated into pd extended for
windows; if not I'll need to explore the joystick external...
AFAIK, [HID] is not ready yet, therefore:
The joystick external unfortunately doesn't support POV controls. For
axes and buttons it works fine, but you should note that the two
rightmost outlets (for the button events) send their values in the wrong
order (second-to-right comes before right outlet).
The attached abstraction shows you how you can handle this. It works for
any joystick with 4 axes, but can easily changed for others.
