Re: [pygame] Joystick

[Stephen Smitherman <srsmitherman@xxxxxxxxx>]

If anyone is interested in what i have so far it is not much but it works. Check it out.

Pair a PS3 controller on Mac, then run the script.

import subprocess

import pygame

pygame.init()

ps3 = pygame.joystick.Joystick(0)

ps3.init()

while True:

    try:

        pygame.event.pump()

        buttons = [ps3.get_button(0),ps3.get_button(1),ps3.get_button(2),ps3.get_button(3),ps3.get_button(4),ps3.get_button(5),ps3.get_button(6),ps3.get_button(7),ps3.get_button(8),ps3.get_button(9),ps3.get_button(10),ps3.get_button(11),ps3.get_button(12),ps3.get_button(13),ps3.get_button(14),ps3.get_button(15),ps3.get_button(16)]

        axis = [ps3.get_axis(0),ps3.get_axis(1),ps3.get_axis(2),ps3.get_axis(3)]

        print(buttons)

        print(axis)

        subprocess.call("clear")

    except KeyboardInterrupt:

        print("Exiting")

        raise

Good Day,
Does anyone know what I can do to work on this project?
I have been able to successfully write a script to use the Playstation 3 controller via bluetooth on a Mac implementing pygame.Joystick. I am loosing many functions of the controller though because the joystick class is limited to typical joystick definitions. How can i get a copy of the joystick source to improve it to allow full six axis functionality.

Thanks
