Hi everyone,
I have recently acquired a Logitech Rumble pad to use as an input
device. I have been having trouble getting the event que to respond
that a button or hat arrow has been pressed. This is on a system
running OS 10.3.9.
I have modified/written a small piece of code that initializes the
joystick, and pygame does recognize it. I was wondering if someone has
a small snippet of code to get me going? I have posted the code I'm
using to initialize the joystick, plus it's output below.
Versions are:
Version checklist:
Python version 2.3 (OK)
extra Python info: (#1, Sep 13 2003, 00:49:11) [GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple
Computer, Inc. build 1495)]
Numeric version 24.0b1 (OK)
PyOpenGL (package "OpenGL") version 2.0.2.01 (OK)
pygame version 1.7.0 (OK)
Python Imaging Library (package "Image") version 1.1.5 (OK)
any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
kjm

#from above, you have number of axes and buttons
#could assign more if your joystick has more
print '%f %f %f %d %d' %(xaxis, yaxis, wheel, trigger, top)
#print values to console for debugging
#analog channels (axes) range -1 to 1
