Joystick and XBox Controller in DirectInput?
I am using your example in the Joystick basics to connect to an XBox controller through the new directInput module.
When I call addJoystick(), I get an JoystickSensor, which does not let me call the Do I typecast this to some type? Do I need to use a different method to get access to the actual Xbox methods? There is nothing in the documentation, so could you please add it in the future? I already printed out the information on the device and it returns true for the isXboxController. Also, could you please consider changing Thanks, George |
Also, the button codes appear to be wrong.
I get different codes from the sensor down than what the documentation states: dinput.XBOX_BUTTON_START reads as a 4, while the left shoulder button reads as a 4 and the start button reads as a 7. |
Yeah, the documentation is not very clear. You actually need to use the
Here is a sample script that gets all the detected Xbox controllers and displays a config window for them: Code:

Great, that also fixed the button mapping problem.

What about the analog sticks for the callbacks?
Has that been phased out and now I just use a timer to read the values? Before there was a move and a twist method. |
Also, what about the dead zone?
Doesn't seem to have an effect when set on the XBox controller. If I poll the device using the getLeftStick() I still get a value less than the dead zone. Do I have to manually test for this? |
You could register a callback function with vizact.onupdate to poll the analog values.
Make sure to calibrate your joystick using the Game Controllers dialog in the Windows Control Panel. |
Is my 'DirectInput.dle' out of date? Why do I get this error?
AttributeError: 'DirectInputExtension' object has no attribute 'getXboxControllerList' |
This command is available in Vizard 5.1. If you're using Vizard 5 you can go to 'Help > Check for Updates' to get the latest installer.
