Hey Kassen, Argh! Sorry about that, didn't mean to mess up your sequencer system! Yes, support for hat/POV switches/some directional pads did disappear for this release. HID support underwent a major rehaul since the last release, for a variety of wholesome reasons, but, for lack of any better explanation, some things got overlooked in all of that. This will definitely be in the next release, and in fact I can probably get you a preview to use with working hat switches until then. spencer On Sep 23, 2006, at 7:04 AM, Kassen wrote:
Hi, list/ developers.
I seem to have a problem with the new version of the Hid input.
Particularly it looks like "msg.type == 3" has disapeared altogether.
Practically speaking this means the directional buttons of my two joypads no longer work in ChucK.
If this is true and there is no overwhelmingly solid reason to abandon those I'd realy, realy like to have them back because almost half of the notes of my joypad-melody construction depend on those and now the melodic side of my sequencer has become unplayable with no easy solution in sight (I realy need all the buttons and keep the axis free for modulations).
For a second I thought they might have been given a proper name like the buttons and axis but those still show op on /examples/hid/ joy.ck and now the directional ones don't anymore. None of the updated examples use the directional buttons either.
This is a bit disturbing to me, could somebody tell me wether I'm missing some improved functionality or could we please, please talk about bringing them back?
Yours, Kas. _______________________________________________ chuck-users mailing list chuck-users@lists.cs.princeton.edu https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/chuck-users
