Hi guys
Sorry not been on for while been busy with other stuff
Just wondering is it possible to add compatibility for xbox 360 controller to be used with freestyler ive used a joystick but did not like how it functioned
Benefits of uses Xbox controller over joystick
1.) you can have wired and wireless controllers and wireless controller giving you the freedom to stand anywhere up to 30ft away
2.) lots more buttons on xbox controller giving more option for configurations
3.) controllers drivers are open source so programming it should not be a problem
Button uses as button pressed it will change to next available
Right Trigger /Left Trigger Fixture Select
A = shutter
X = Strobe
Y = Gobo;B
= Colour
Stick 1 will control X and Y axis
Dpadd Left/Right select a cued sequencDpad
ad Up/Down would start and stop sequence
Vibration feedback triggered when there's a system error so controller would vibrate then you could design a diagnostic system of pulses that vibrate the controller that you can reference to an error list weather it be a lose wire or fixture not being DMX correctly
To Use a Standard UXboxbox Pad with your PC all You need Is Driver [url=http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/gamin ... px?pid=091]Available Herurlurl]
To Use Wireless Controller your neXboxbox to PC wireless USB receiver and a wireleXboxbox Controller
USB CHARGING CABLE WILL NOT WORK
With wireless set-up you can have up to 4 pads connected so you could have split pad configuration so you could have a pad per group of lights eg:
Pad 1Pacansans x4
Pad 2 = Moving heads x2
Pad 3 = AcScimtersers x4
Pad 4 = Lasers/Others

Re: Xbox 360 Wireless Controller
You may want to look for a software that makes your Xbox 360 controller show up as a Joystick. This would allow you to use the FreeStyler built in Joystick Support!

Re: Xbox 360 Wireless Controller
Hi thanks Matt
I tried what you suggested but had problem with the microsoft common controller
I'm running Windows 7 32bit
And for some reason the above download will not work with Win7 Ive found loads on Goggle with other having gaming issues it with it
Is it not possible to make an add-on for this that will enable the thumb sticks to controller X-Y axis to have full compatibility
Ive found few problem with freestyler ive tried keyboard set-up there's just no option for controlling these functions to open and close shutter
The only thing ive manage to configure is select fixture with triggers change the fixture colour and gobo with a button press. The D pad fails to recognise any inputs in freestyler along with the X-Y of the thumb sticks
Be great to have this integrated with full support

Re: Xbox 360 Wireless Controller
Cracked It
Your Need few things
1x Gamepad (I'm using xbox wireless pad)
1x Copy of Xpadder Download Here
And a copy of Freestyler
Setup Xpadder with your gamepad/Joystick with keyboard Btn's (inculding the X and Y axis may need turbo enabled)
Then set the same buttons for Freestyler keyboard shortcuts for the options you want your Gamepad to control
EG. in xpadder i use for the X/Y axis tumbstick W,D,S,A with turbo enabled [Then in Freestyler set them as Pan Left, Pan Right, Pan Up, Pan Down ]
Freestyler has some limitations the keyboard shortcut controls still dont cover all of the functions of a fixture once there have been more shortcuts added you will be able to configure the gamepad to have complete control of you whole set-up
Thanks look forward to updating this once we have the new shortcuts

Re: Xbox 360 Wireless Controller
Hi,
I started on Freestyler and I have a small question:
I have 2 scans (Aquila) and I want to know if it will be possible to independently control the left and right with the controller sticks?
ex:
Left Stick: Pan / Tilt Scan 1
Right Stick: Pan / Tilt Scan 2
Sorry if the translation is not great (thank you Google)

Re: Xbox 360 Wireless Controller
Interesting, I might have to try this and see if I can get it to work with my setups
