2nd Analog Stick on Gamepad

[tokola]

I am trying to use the right stick and cannot manage to read its position. I have used the joystick.py example but it doesn't work; hat returns position of the D-pad while slider is not working at all. Did someone succeed in reading the 2nd analog?

I am using both a Logitech Rumblepad 2 and a Sony DualSock 3.

Thanks a lot.

If you run the following script and move the 2nd analog is anything printed in the output window?

import viz
import vizjoy

viz.go()
vizjoy.add()

def buttondown(button):
    print 'Button',button,'is down'

def buttonup(button):
    print 'Button',button,'is up'

def hat(state):
    print 'Hat changed to',state

def slider(state):
    print 'Slider changed to',state

def joymove(x):
    print 'Joystick has moved to',x.pos

def twist(val):
    print 'Twist changed to',val

#Set all the joystick callbacks
viz.callback(vizjoy.BUTTONDOWN_EVENT,buttondown)
viz.callback(vizjoy.BUTTONUP_EVENT,buttonup)
viz.callback(vizjoy.SLIDER_EVENT,slider)
viz.callback(vizjoy.HAT_EVENT,hat)
viz.callback(vizjoy.MOVE_EVENT,joymove)
viz.callback(vizjoy.TWIST_EVENT,twist)

Thanks for replying. I have tested the DualShock with that code before and it didn't work. I haven't probably checked the Rumblepad which eventually reads the right analog as twist (y axis) and slider (x axis) data.

Is there any way to read the Sony DS3 as well, or it's dependent on the driver? It basically runs using a virtual controller called MotioninJoy, since the device is originally for the Play Station. Is there a list of recommended joysticks for use with Vizard or any other plugins designed for specific joypad devices (similar to the wii.dle)?
