light sensor, etc -> game port inputs - Page 2

Maybe, if I had a parallel port.

The joystick port isn't so bad for digital input, and of course bad for outputs, and then there's the serial one here that's going to be done soon. I think we're all still waiting on that. I think it's going to be a nice everything-in-one board.

yea the serial one does the same thing... I already have the parallel port one built though...make sure its Opto-isolated or it could fry your motherboard and everthing attached to it!

Well curiosity,
I think i'm using your plugin.
So, it doesn't work whith the fire buttons inputs?
Isn't it for use whith the sony whith the shift button diagram?
And why "isn't as nice as the other girder plugins for the Sony remote"?
Thanks

I think this is a winamp plugin, but it looks like he spent some time on it so it could be pretty good. I thought it was for girder though.

Mine only sends events on the axis change and shows what buttons are pressed along with it, so if you press shift you won't get an event, but when you press shift plus another button, you get an event as shift + axis value. I'll just add button up and down events, so it can handle both.

Ok,
I'm going to hack a game pad trying to connect it to a Sony Rm-x4s (when I find one to buy), putting it on an axis.
2 of the buttons are to control GammaControl (maybe on a dim signal or on an Ldr circuit). My problem is with girder: How can I make to point the "targeting" directly to GammaControl (or S3GamaPlus from my MII)?? For doing it I'm using a few commands (one to start GammaControl, other to open the window, other to click the button and other to minimise the window. It works, but when a new icon appears on the taskbar it doesn't.
How can I put it directly??
