Greetings,
My students are working on projects where they want to use game controllers with Pd.
We can currently get the hid object to run in Pd-extended on Mac OS High Sierra, but I would like to encourage my students to use a newer version of Pd.
Is hid available through a current library or is there an equivalent external that can provide the same functionality?
Apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere. Thanks for your help!

- download a recent version of Pd.
- go to "Help" -> "Find new externals"
- type "hid" (wihtout the quotes) into the search field and hit enter
- you should get a list of externals that have 'something' to do with "hid"
- click on one of the lines. the search results are sorted per library
name (alphabetically) and within each library per version (semantically) compatible architectures are shown on top (in a blackish font), incomaptible architectures (if enabled via the preferences) are shown below (in a greyish font)
a quick search on my machine shows that, [hid] is available for Linux (amd64 and i386) and Darwin (i386 and powerpc); the related but slightly different [hidin] is available for Windows (i386).
noteably, there is no [hid] package for Darwin/amd64 (which is what you probably want, when running High Sierra).

I didn't tried it yet, but you can find a compiled version of the forked [HIDIO] object here:
https://github.com/Benitoite/hidio
Cheers

you could also just try to compile [hid] (and upload it to deken). i don't think it's super hard.
I tried with hid-0.7 from puredata.info and wasn't successful on macOS Yosemite and Sierra.
It fails at:
HID Utilities Source/HID_Utilities_External.h:64:9: error: mac68k alignment pragma is not supported on this target #pragma options align=mac68k
But also when I comment out that line, it fails with a different error.
It seems the included header files originating from Apple are pretty outdated.
Maybe I tell rubbish, but at least it seems [hid] needs some love from someone with a bit deeper knowledge of things.
