Hey hey,
There are already some nodes to access values from HIDs (Kinect, VL devices,…) I’m looking for a patch/definition/node/.net for vvvv gamma to access the output-values from any/all HID or USB controllers.
So far I’ve found some .net nodes (hidlibrary, HIDDevices, ect.) and tried around with them, but I can’t find a simple solution.
I’m explicitly trying a video editing device (contour ShuttleExpress) to be used as a control unit for some visuals.
I need the rawinput data of a connected USB controller/ HID (no matter which one).
I’m looking for a patch or definition with which I can get the data (PressButton down/up, Wheel, Crossfade, etc.) out as numerical values - like the mouse/keyboard node from Stride.
My first problem is to get the data which comes out from the controller. I can’t find a node that recognizes the device or I just don’t understand it.
I thought it was possible to access the data in the device manager or something similar so that I would get a list of the devices connected to the PC. In the next step I would select the controller and work with its values.
I’m not a programmer, just a musician with an affinity for programming. I’ve worked a lot with PureData, but wanted to run the visuals via vvvv gamma.
With PD I can simply output a list with the connected devices. Then I can select a device and work with the value - simple. In the screenshot of PD it is the device 5
With the nuget hidlibrary I usually get the message “no data observed”. I think this is a gap in my knowledge.
Google says there was a VL.Devices.Devices nuget for all devices but the VL.Devices package has been removed from the default installation of vvvv Gamma?
… an other screenshot of vvvv follows…
Thanks for help,
Jakob
