Back at university, that’s why been quite busy . But, still here’s something new I have come out with and feel interesting to share. This post will enable you to use and control (maybe a program or a bot) with a gamePad using Processing.
Here’s a list of pre-requisites :
- Processing 1.5.1 or above
- ProControll Library
- A gamePad (I’m using Logitech™ RumblePad 2)
- A bit knowledge on programming in processing
FYI : As far as I know, no USB joystick/gamepad will have a serial interface, simply because the USB specification already defines a joystick interface, which is generally preferred. So, the problem is that you can’t communicate with as it doesn’t appear to as a serial COM port (for e.g. if you want to do serial communication using puTTY, the device must appear to a COM port!)
The proCONTROLL library allows Processing to communicate with control devices like joysticks, joypads and also keyboards and mice. Let’s check out a basic programme by which we can translate and rotate a sphere using the proControll library, openGL library (by default with preocessing 1.5.1 or above), a gamepad and of course a PC.
Here’s a zipped copy of the source code. Click here to download.
Watch the video to enjoy some of the glimpses of the game pad control.
