Hello!

Does anyone know a way of controlling PD with a playstation 3 controller? I've seen many people use the wii remotes accelerometer to control their patches but not he ps controller. Please help!

Hi,

If you already have linked your ps3controller to your computer you can use the [hid] object to get the controls into puredata. See the help file of the object for more details.

Hope it helps

I bought a cheap-o device a few years ago that plugs in via usb and turns any ps, nintendo, xbox, etc controller in an HID device. I think it was from dealextreme.com

Thanks seegwen, the accelerometer and buttons are working perfectly. I noticed the hid tool reconised infrared hardware on my laptop.. when sending or receiving data, can this control pd?? can someone elaborate on this????
