Hi there, Has anyone tried using the external, joystick.pd? If so would you be so kind as to check out the details of my failed attempts below and tell what Im doing wrong? Im running on Win2000. The joystick Im using is a Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital. Okay - I'm certain the joystick is working as I've used it with a little app. called DInput which allows me to test it and it seems to be fine. I copied both the .pd and the .dll to my extra folder in the pd directory; Where should I place the .cpp and the 'makefile' or does it matter? At the moment they are in their own folder in the pd directory... I have tried opening the joystick external within pd by going file>open>joystick.pd. This brings up the patch but its not responding at all to the joystick. However, the external does seem to be loading as in the shell I see the following:
joystick object loaded <J. Sarlo> using joystick 1 configuring joystick: found 3 axes found 6 buttons
Any suggestions? Do I need to connect the joystick object up to any other object in order to get it working? Please do state the obvoius - Im still a novice at this! Any help much appreciated. Thanks,
Laura
Hi,

Here's a different approach to your problem:

Pics are very easily found and very cheap. Pic burners too. And this solution will work on every system with a midi interface.
Hope it helps, Julien

This is nice, but a PSX or any joypad/-stick pad has a much higher resolution than midi control data.
I happily use a PSX pad through USB on my Laptop for Pd with J. Sarlos external. I have no idea, why it isn't working at Laura's machine, though. It should report something to its outlets, but it seems it doesn't...

I've been using the xbox gamepad (on xbox-linux, but I think it's adaptable to plain USB with simple rewiring). It's an especially flexible controller. The 6 pushbuttons are continuous pressure sensitive. And its 2 joysticks have buttons. And the joysticks do not have a dead zone in the middle. I had to change some constants in J. Sarlos external not to make it crash on the 14 axes of this controller.
I still have to check the wireless xbox gamepad clone from Logitech. If it is as good as the xpad, it could be an interesting base for wireless sensors.
