Buttons support

[Xavier Selva]

Is it possible to map PSMove buttons? eg. FreePieIO[n].x = 8bit button flags FreePieIO[n].y = float analog trigger

[Elliot Hawkins]

It is, and in the past that was supported. However, FreePieIO only has four indicies. The first is being used for position/rotation, and the others are currently used to provide raw sensor access. I made this change to accommodate a previous request, and because FreePie can already access the buttons on the PSMove controllers using joystick[n].getDown(m). If Freepie's joystick support isn't sufficient, I could probably bring this back as an option.

Issue #2 and commit 42bf595 cover this change.

Thanks for the quick response. The issue with joystick is that I'm reading FreePieIO directly from code (ie. not launching a FreePie script to process). I would have to launch FreePie and create a script that remaps the data to FreePieIO (and hope it doesn't conflict with the data coming from your bridge). Would be great if you could add an option/cmd line to map the IOs something like this: fp[0-2] controllers (position and rotation, no raw data), fp[3].x/y/z buttons and fp[3].yaw/pitch/roll trigger (x/yaw for controller 0, y/pitch controller 1, z/roll for controller 2).

That mapping sounds fine. I don't have a lot of free time this week so I might not be able to get to this until the weekend.

That'd be great, thanks!

Alpha 8 is up with button support for up to three controllers using your struct mapping. The buttons are stored as follows:

Bit 0 - Square

Bit 1 - Triangle

Bit 2 - Cross

Bit 3 - Circle

Bit 4 - Move

Bit 5 - PS

Bit 6 - Start

Bit 7 - Select
