Trying to publish buttons as joystick and gyro data at the same time

awesomebytes commented 8 years ago

Hello, I'm trying to use your library as sc-xbox.py does but at the same time I would like to publish the gyro data (this is for making a ROS node to publish all this).

I also would like to set the left pad to publish as all the range of values between 1.0 and -1.0 not only 1.0, 0.0, -1.0.

And finally give some haptic feedback on both pads.

For now I've been able to do a dump.py version that dumps also the gyro data. But I think writting a node that writes all the joystick buttons and the gyro data from scratch sounds like an overkill considering how close to be what I need is the code I found.

If I could setup two callbacks for the input data to process the gyro data separately I would have everything but configuring the left pad to be like the right pad in xbox mode.

I've tried to make a Gamepad Uinput class which has different Axis ranges (I think those are the ranges, the numbers defined in the axes= field) but I couldn't make it work.

Copy pasting the full process method and give some modifications just to handle the gyro also sounds like an overkill.

I would be very grateful for some feedback. Sorry if the issue is a bit chaotic, I've been writting it as I tried stuff.

Oh, and I checked that the quaternion data is actually a quaternion and given in the form (w, x, y, z).

Checked it with this little code: https://gist.github.com/awesomebytes/d9dad21ba07eed27adb8

Video of it working: https://youtu.be/vIwJa4dtiyo

I hope I can help a little bit with this info.

Thanks for the info, I'll try to add gyro data into the event mapper, but I still have to add a good strategy to permits the different possible use case.

The use case I have encountered for the moment are :

Gyro as axis stand alone or in complement of another input.
Gyro as mouse stand alone or in complement of another input.

Many mapping I saw use a pad for fast move and gyro for precise move.

Function I want to implement soon:

Enable gyro condition (always on, or on specific button event)
Use gyro as mouse (add yaw, pitch, roll accell to mouse event with a scale factor).
Use gyro as an axis (compute yawn, pitch or roll from quaternion, normalize to -32768 32768 and use it as an axe)
