Hey Kassen, Now why would you ever want to open a device by name if it wasn't connected to your system? :) Thanks for the bug report. Should be an easy fix. spencer On Dec 18, 2009, at 3:55 PM, Kassen wrote:
Fellow ChucKists, Dear Spencer.
I was going over the VERSIONS file, looking for more things that are lacking in the manual and found the .open( string name ) member function for Hid and HidIn.
As far as I can tell this works fine, provided we know the exact name of the device. The following example will instead crash;
HidIn hi; hi.open( "foo" );
...this is of course assuming you don't accidentally have a device named "foo". The following does work for me;
HidIn hi; hi.open("SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad");
It seems like the existence of the device isn't properly verified before ChucK attempts to open it. Tested using the latest mini on Ubuntu 9.10
Yours, Kas. _______________________________________________ chuck-users mailing list chuck-users@lists.cs.princeton.edu https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/chuck-users
