Make Analog Input Trigger RR Play

**scotty562** · 12-11-2008, 09:03 PM

I have the test com event setup that you made for us in the other thread. What I want to do is add an analog input that will trigger Road Runner to play. Once I have an example I should be able to do the rest on my own.

My config looks like this:

I'm going to give you both parts of my xml file for completeness. You can delete out what you don't want.

This all works. You will obviously need to subsitute your own values.
Do not be alarmed when the configurator gives you an error. IT WILL OVERWRITE YOUR EXTERNAL COMMANDS. Or, at least mine does. Make sure you double check that it hasn't overwritten your stuff.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the post. I'm having issues... Could you just post your entire config? I may be able to just use yours and modify it.

Edit:

I think I found the problem. Was missing </executable_commands> </com>.

Edit 2:

Got it! Thanks!
