3 years ago Hi.. it can... if you use the config overlays... The idea is basically that you have a base configuration and can overlay it for a small time with additional/different configs. The overlay is basically sent to the input pipe via the command line and the same is done to reset it. (the input pipe runs as a server and the command line pushes the overlay with a short running tcpip connection into it or resets it) To trigger this you can either use an external call or simply trigger a shell execution upon button press from the input itself.
So for your example you probably have to set the knob as device and each state is a device event upon device event you basically (each knob must send a different input value) you execute a script which first rests the state of the overlays and then sends the overlay appropriate for the knob position.
To define such an eval output to trigger external commands you can do following output: eval1: name: eval1 type: eval
in the rules section
- from_ev: (EV_KEY), code 290 (BTN_THUMB2) #single button right
targets:
- to: eval1 to_ev: (META), ./myscript.py
there you can do everything you want to:

I hope that explains it.

Some devices (like Virpil Throttles) have a special multi-state knob, that allows to change modes on the device, so the same button could serve multiple purposes based on the currently selected mode. This knob basically acts like 5 buttons, where always one of them is continuously pressed. Can this program handle mode switching? So could I map the same button, to different actions, based on the state of other buttons?
