Huh, funny that you folks were posting about controllers, it just so happens that the Ultimarc controller is now ready for sale. It's $49 and you can see it at the following link: http://www.u-hid.com/index.php? option=com_content&view=article&id=21&Itemid=24 I can't be impartial because I will receive a small part of the net profit of these boards. That's because I approached the company with the idea and much to my surprise they decided to work with me on developing the product. They also sell other controllers. This one, the U-HID-G has a 3-axis accelerometer on a USB interface plus an expansion port for pots, switches, slow analog in, etc. What I like about this device is that it looks like a joystick to the computer, so there's no need for drivers or special interface programs or huge sections of ChucK code, etc. It interfaces to ChucK easily. The only downers I see are 1. it is wired, not wireless, and 2. it requires a PC for configuration because the config utility is a Windows application. So basically it's another choice among many. Kassen, did you get one in the mail? I thought Andy sent you one. Cheers, Les Hall (Inventor)
Les; So basically it's another choice among many. It's small though and made for expanding and you won't have to solder one of those tiny sensor chips yourself. Seems like a good middle ground between adopting ready-made products and complete DIY.
Kassen, did you get one in the mail? I thought Andy sent you one.
Sorry, no, I haven't yet received a package from him. I wondered about that a few days ago as I was thinking about trying some things with rotary encoders again. I do owe you a email, BTW, I didn't forget, I just didn't get the right time to sit down and write it yet. I'm not ignoring you :¬). Yours, Kas.
