Posted: 28 Mar 2011, 09:29
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
