Note: this page will no longer be updated
Please refer to the Github project page from now on
Built as part of my master’s thesis project ‘robotcowboy: A One-Man Band Musical Cyborg”, and continually updated.
Testing has been done using Pure Data, but any application that can handle OSC can recieve the event messages.
View the README.
features
Sends joystick/wiimote events over OSC and assigns addresses based on the joystick device name or USB product name. Utilizes udev for dynamic hotplugging.
Wiimote support using the cwiid library is experimental and only one wiimote connection is available for now.
This is still very experimental as I’m just learning autotools etc, so if the build dosen’t work for you let me know. I have developed and tested on
an Ubuntu Hardy system.
Includes the rc-unit-patches for Pure Data Extended which handle OSC message parsing from rc-unitd:
