Hello,
Does anybody know if the acceleration data is also transmitted using the HID standard with the SIXAXIS Controller under Linux ? If I check the events with cat /dev/input/js0 I get only information about the buttons...
Thanks, greetings
Florian
Machen Sie Yahoo! zu Ihrer Startseite. Los geht's:
using wmgui I was able to get (as far as i recall) all of the data from the wiimote.. definitely the acceleration, button and infrared.. cannot remember if there is anything else.. The wiimote external worked to get this info as well.. I haven't used it as a normal linux input device.. i think there might be some info you have to send to the device to turn on the accelerometers and infrared..

If you're already using libcwiid and wmgui, then you can read the event data pretty easily as well as control the leds and the rumble motor using the libcwiid api. I have it working in a custom device daemon that forwards hids and wiimotes over osc in linux ... I have been meaning to sit down and set it all up for automake and release it if there is interest.
If you program in C/C++ checkout the libwcwiid demo.
Now I just need that neural net stuff for gesture recognition within pd.

I'm not sure why you would want to do it that way. I have an external ready which outputs acceleration data too. You can find it at http://youngmusic.org/wiki/index.php/Wiilib
It should work ok, only some extentions like the classic controller are not ready yet, but i'm working on that.

Hello,
I think he means the Sony SIXAXIS controller, which can be read with hid external.

Do you have any info on getting data from the SIXAXIS? AFAIK, the
SIXAXIS is not a regular HID device, because Sony wants to force
people to pay a license fee to make Playstation controllers. It's
very close though. On my tests, it didn't just work though.

Terrorism is not an enemy. It cannot be defeated. It's a tactic.
It's about as sensible to say we declare war on night attacks and
expect we're going to win that war. We're not going to win the war
on terrorism. - retired U.S. Army general, William Odom
