Hello

I am trying to get a USB proximity sensor device to work with HID.

So far it appears that this device only works with software that comes with it. Is there a way around this in PD. I want to use it to measure distance from it and then in turn use the numbers that it kicks out to control something else.

I opened the HID help file and used the patch there. It recognizes a names the device but still nothing happens.

Thanks

Hi Tym,

Here's something I'd scavenged off the net sometime ago, which might work for you.

Please do tell if it does,.. as also about your usb proximity device.

(edit) you might like to also check out this link that Hardoff pitched in when I discovered that [hid] is hidden from me~:o\. http://crca.ucsd.edu/~jsarlo/pd/ There's a patch there that detects and calibrates inputs.

Keep well ~ Shankar

hi

thanks for that. Im afraid it doesn't work but It's not the patch i think it is my sensor. I can't seem to activate it without the software however the software is no good to me.
Thanks anyway. I will try a different method.
