Yes, I am also working with pd under windows xp and I had exactly the same question. is there any hope the [hid] will ever work under windows???? or is there any other alternative for us poor windows users??? let´s joystick around...if possible...
Best, m.
Hi all,
I'm trying to get a game-controller (and eventually also the Wii-controller) up and running on pure data which I am currently running on windows. As I understand it the best object at the moment to tap into the datastreams produced by game controllers etc. is the HID-object build by Hans-Christoph Steiner. It isn't provided with the latest beta version of PD extended and I'm also beginning to believe that it doesn't even run on windows at all - is the right or wrong? If there is a windows-version of this/these objects could someone please point me to them?
Cheers! Thomas

Well, as I understand it the HID-object is at present only working on Linux and OSX due til difficulties in the windows API, but there is work being done on making the HID available for Windows users as well, there's even been some talk about this maybe being available in July 2007 which is very interesting indeed. Especially since it will also open up for easy access to the wii-controller.
For now though the joystick-object will have to do - I wonder if it can see my wii-controller as well...
Cheers Thomas
ps - check the attachment for the joystick-object that I'm having success with :)

Hello.
You can use GRIPD to pass hid information on to pure data...it's also useful for passing MIDI and avoiding the glitches and audio drop-outs.
There is a way you can fire GRIPD up from your patch using a loadbang, and then hide/minimise it.
Robin.

Depending on how broad we take the term "HID-object for Windows" there already was one in July 2004 or something. We (HC & I) agreed on making separate versions of the new hidio object for the separate platforms first before figuring out how to merge them into one single external with some OS dependent files. If you say "please, please..." or something I might compile my current Max external for Pd so that you can give it a try. It's not really 100% like the new hidio will be but at least it includes the basic features and serves as a test bed. Since the current code is not the final hidio code it's not open source.
Especially since it will also open up for easy access to the wii-controller.
I can't comment on that, I have a Wii but a Windows box without bluetooth.

Hi Oluf,
and thank you very much for your kind offer! And all though I don't have any problems with begging publicly I think I have my needs covered for now with the joystick-object, at least regarding my logitech-gamepad :) Now the Wii-remote that's a completely different story, so if you think that you current max external for PD might work then I would love to give it a go here on my 2 windows boxes, if it's not too much trouble for you!
Any other options on getting in tapping in on the Wii-Remote from pd are very welcome, also if Linux is the only option.
Cheers! Thomas
