About the reconnect: It does not work because the joystick gets initialized once the game starts. Reconnecting could lead to undefined behaviour. I will see whether I can make some PnP detection to detect reconnected and newly connected devices.

About the 'precision mode': I don't think I could do something about it. I get data from the driver as it comes. I don't change anything about the values. If the button was common for all joysticks I could try to emulate the wanted behaviour but I think it's not that common for a joystick to even have this button.

I read about the vibration feature but I don't know how to expose it to the Maratis SDK since there is no engine support for that yet (As far as I know).

Thanks for you feedback
I will see what I can do about your 'problems'

Sponk

I still don't know what exactly caused the failure. Maybe I will find it later

TaeZ: You could possibly fix it the same way as Lamberto

Nice to hear that it is not solely my fault

Are you sure you used the version from SVN while testing?

sure but ... wait.
I was adding some printf in your code to figure out where the problem was, and... now it works! mumble mumble...  it may be due from some package installed by jstest-gtk. I must try Maratis svn version on freshly installed Ubuntu machine.

I've tested cheap ACME gamepad on Ubuntu 12.04 (Maratis r200), but it doesn't work me either. Gamepad is functioning fine. Can I give you any more info to make it easier to debug?

Are you sure you used the version from SVN while testing?
You can find it in

trunk/dev/prod/linux2/release/Maratis/Bin

in your Maratis source directory.

joypad is Bus 001 Device 006: ID 12bd:d012

I tried "cat /dev/input/js0" that returns weird characters while pressing joypad buttons (meaning it works)

as final test used jstest-gtk and output is fine

any guess?
Lamberto

Could you give me the output of

lsusb

and

/dev/input/js0

using the terminal?

Sponk

EDIT: I used the code stated earlier

function onSceneUpdate()
    print(getAxis("JOY1_Y"))
    print(isKeyPressed("JOY1_BUTTON1"))
end

just tried on different machine (same OS) with different joypad and I got same result:

0
false

Lamberto

I tested it with three different joysticks on Ubuntu 12.10, Ubuntu 13.04 and openSUSE 12.3.
All three worked without any problems.

Does your joystick work with other programs/games?

Do you use multiple joysticks? I found a bug when using two controllers at the same time (I will fix it later today).

Sponk

PS: Thanks for your feedback

EDIT: Fixed typo

I don't have access to linux to test it, is there a linux user that can help with this ?
> first by testing that the compilation is going without errors
> then by testing a controller

Thanks for the help.
