Jim, I've been using joysticks to control Chuck through Open Sound Control messages for a few months now, and I've been happy with the results. I wrote a short joystick->OSC program using CNMAT 's libOSC ( http://www.cnmat.berkeley.edu/OpenSoundControl/ ) and the joystick wrapper library ( http://wolfpack.twu.net/libjsw/ ). I'm a novice C programmer, and, thanks to the examples included with libOSC and libjsw, I was able to hack together a working program much more quickly than I had expected. Though the libjsw homepage mentions support on all platforms, I never was able to use it with Mac OS X. Sucks! If you wanna see my geeky joystick video, its at: http://www.gilliesfamily.org/tyler/movies/joysticks.mp4 - Tyler Gillies On Feb 19, 2006, at 10:50 PM, Jim Hinds wrote:
I was caught bragging to my peers (all of them) about how cool chuck is to do performance and real-time good stuff. One asked me about joystick interfaces into chuck and I blanked out. I didn't have an answer -- I should have.
So, does anybody know how to read a joystick and get the info into (or through) chuck? Even a Rube Goldberg approach might help me here, although extra credit is given for simplicity and elegance.
If the answer only worked on the Mac OS X implementation, that would be just fine.
