Hi -
I have a controller that " is supported by
native Human Interface Device (HID) support built into your Mac OS "
- no device driver.
Which is ok. However I had an idea, but not sure if it will work in
Rb.
Can I have Rb check/ be notified when a button('s), control stick,
etc.. has been pressed on the controller
then have that assigned to a keyboard key and have my app tell the
Mac OS or another app
that "hey such and such key has been pressed". Incase of the analog
sticks perhaps emulate mouse
movements. D-pad could be used for the arrow keys.
One cool thing about the controller is it has rumble feature.. alas
in the controllers doc's its says that feature "isn't supported" on
Mac.
I would like to figure out away to make that work on my Mac, no
biggie if I can't.
Since I have no clue on how to make a device driver, I though I might
be able to rig some to work in Rb.
You should look at the Monkeybread plugins. There are functions for
dealing with some HID devices already (we used them to connect to
postal scales recently).
