RE: Device Drivers

Hey Kai and Byron

 

Byron> First goal would be to able to control/drive an object in XSI by mapping the controller output information (analog sticks, d-pad, buttons and triggers) Like driving clips on the mixer when I move the analog stick around. Capture would be cool. And being able to drive a camera with it would be great too.

 

Kai> Very cool! Thanks for the hookup. Took a minute to figure out where to install but I have it them showing up now. So this is a good jumping off point. I guess I need go RTFM on how to get an Xbox 360 controller going with the Device Manager.

 

Thanks and I will be back with more Qs.

Hi Marc,

a few years ago I created a set of drivers for mouse, keyboard and USB devices like joysticks, wheels, etc. : http://www.kai-wolter.com/resources/xsi/mojokedrivers

I have used DirectInput to make it work.

Hello everyone

 

Anyone here ever try making a new device driver for say a USB game controller? Or anyone have any thought and impressions on creating Device Drivers?

 

Cheers!
