It is supposed to give transposition and rotation in XYZ, hence SIXAXIS. That's the hope at least. .hc On Mar 21, 2008, at 3:59 PM, Mike McGonagle wrote: Hans, do you know how many "control" signals this will produce? From what I read in the literature, it sounds like it also has motio

Hey, With the SIXAXIS, I am not getting anything but standard messages. How did you do the pairing? Is the Guitar Hero controller also a Bluetooth device? As far as I can tell with the SIXAXIS, the bluetooth stuff doesn't really work, I am only using the USB connection. I can't get it

Oops, I should be a little more specific ... what I described was my experience with the Guitar Hero controller, which as far as I can tell is just a repackaged SIXAXIS controller that sends a different device ID. It may be slightly different for the regular SIXAXIS controllers, but use [print] and

I hooked up a [print] to the [hid] object's first outlet. If you do that you should see a constant stream of messages that look like this: ... 0x002c 561 0x002d 593 0x002e 512 ... 0x002c, 0x002d and 0x002e identify the X, Y and Z messages, and the numbers after them are the values. I was expecting

Hmm, so I installed that driver, and now I get the standard gamepad data from the device. Are you able to get the six-axis accelerometer data from the device? that's the real fun stuff. .hc On Mar 21, 2008, at 5:05 PM, Andrew Turley wrote: > For the record, the SIXAXIS controller works we

IIRC, I think there is a linux driver for the wiimote that makes it act like a HID, and therefore could be used with [hid]. .hc On Mar 21, 2008, at 5:26 PM, Daniel Wilcox wrote: I use a wiimote in Linux using the cwiid api in my device daemon that grabs joystick and wiimote events and sli

I use a wiimote in Linux using the cwiid api in my device daemon that grabs joystick and wiimote events and slings them over OSC to pd. The wiimote has a 3 axis acceleramator and sends the x, y, z positions and you can easily calculate mean acc, roll, and pitch. You

Hans, do you know how many "control" signals this will produce? From what I read in the literature, it sounds like it also has motion controls. Does that mean that it has XYZ sensors? Or does it also have the pitch and yaw sensors as well? It sounds like a Wii has XYZ and pitch and yaw... Mike On

It turns out it's not an easy thing. In order to poll the wiimote you need to use a Carbon CFRunLoop. Since Max/MSP is a Carbon app natively, the aka.wiiremote object can just tag onto the built-in CFRunLoop to get events. Pd's Tcl/Tk process is a Carbon app, but that's a separate proc

This is a port of aka.wiiremote, yup. The Max and Pd APIs are so similar, you usually don't need flext to make it work for both. The problem here is that Max/MSP is a Carbon app and the pd process is not (Tcl/Tk Wish.app is). The IOBluetooth framework is designed to be used in a Carbon
