Yes, unfortunately only pedals from PCsensor are supported. I could add support for Scythe if someone borrows me the hardware for a while. Those pedals are more expensive and it seems that they don't ship to Europe.
I found a kernel module for this model: https://bitbucket.org/xemexys/usb_footswitch_driver/wiki/Home And a configurator for linux with source code included: ftp://ftp.scythe-eu.com/Software/USB-Foot-Switch-II/Alternative_Programming_Software.zip
Could you add support for the Scythe Pedal given that the sources to the programming software for the Scythe pedal are available? They can be downloaded here: ftp://ftp.scythe-eu.com/Software/USB-Foot-Switch-II/Alternative_Programming_Software.zip
Sending the device to you might be out of scope but I'll gladly test everything you can provide.
I bouth the tripedal from scithe while in Europe, I believe it got sent from Germany. I never got around to setup it though :'(
For info, I bought a Scythe 'usb triple foot switch 2' from ldlc.com (a european online reseller company).
lsusb
detects it with id 0426:3011. It's the values found by laspic too.
@rgerganov I notice your last comment was quite some while ago -- are you by any chance still interested in implementing support for Scythe? I'll be glad to send you one as a gift.
@victorhahncastell Yes, that would be awesome. Please contact me on email and I will send you a shipping address. Thanks!
I see that a Scythe is available on amazon in europe.
Keep updated about that because I am evaluating to buy one!
Any updates for that? We can do a crowdfounding in case for the pedal.
I have received the hardware from Victor but I have been very busy with other stuff. I will post updates here as soon as I start working on this.
Cool, so I can order my copy and wait like a baby for Christmas :-D
I have added support for Scythe switches: https://github.com/rgerganov/footswitch/pull/33
The functionality is a little bit different from PCsensor, so I decided to create a separate binary scythe
for them. The changes are in the scythe
branch and after doing some more tests, I will merge them to master. Let me know if you have any issues.
Awesome! Thanks so much @rgerganov, can't wait to try this out :-)
I can confirm that this works for me under Linux (although I had to run with sudo
otherwise it says it can't find the pedal.)
Thanks for doing this, I really appreciate it!
alexandercurtis: If you want to run it under Linux as a normal user check your udev rules. Check the file 19-footswitch.rules
I have problems on debian https://github.com/rgerganov/footswitch/issues/36 maybe someone can help on that :-)
I'd like to configure a Scythe pedal.
I follow (successfully) the instructions to install your utility by github. And I get :
It's not surprising, because :
So, is it really impossible ? Or is there a trick I can test ?
