PB521 - Joystick Library HAT-POV
Posted: Wed Jan 22, 2014 4:58 pm
Linux Mint Mate x64
I've tried with this: Saitek Rumble Pad P480
This is the test code:
Under Win/Lin/OSX the two analog joysticks work, they are mapped on some axis on some PAD. OK.
The buttons also work.
The HAT (or POV) on the top left in the picture, works only under Windows.
It is seen on the X and Y axis on the PAD 2.
See image below (on Windows) where I'm pressing a diagonal to have both axis activated.
On BOTH LINUX AND OSX the HAT doesn't work. I've tried with some other utility to test the Saitek and they correctly report the HAT status.
For example, under linux you can use jstest. If you don't have it installed you can on a debian-based distribution get it this way:
And then try it this way (changing the device number as required):
The axes 4 and 5 above are again active because I'm pressing the HAT diagonally.
On OSX you can use this -> http://alphaomega.software.free.fr/joys ... ester.html
So, with other utilities the HAT does work on Lin/OSX, it just does not work with the PB joystick lib.

Next
Repeat

Next

Driver version is 2.1.0.
Joystick (Jess Tech Dual Analog Rumble Pad) has 6 axes (X, Y, Z, Rz, Hat0X, Hat0Y)
and 12 buttons (Trigger, ThumbBtn, ThumbBtn2, TopBtn, TopBtn2, PinkieBtn, BaseBtn, BaseBtn2, BaseBtn3, BaseBtn4, BaseBtn5, BaseBtn6).
