IS-900 Wand Data

Hi All,
I am unable to retrieve button data from my IS-900 Simtracker wand. When using the following commands:

Code:
isense = viz.add('intersense.dle')
wandTracker = isense.addTracker(port=4,station=2)
def printData():
    print wandTracker.getData()
vizact.onkeydown('p',printData)
I only get two datapoints in the list, such as '[127.0,37.0]' -- just the joystick data. Is there any way to make sure that I have the most recent version of intersense.dle? I suspect I may need to update the intersense firmware, as it is probably pretty old, but want to exhaust any other options first.

You should be able to use the standard extension sensor button methods for accessing the wand button data.

From the Sensor basics documentation page:

Code:
<extSensor>.buttonState() - Get the state of the buttons as a bit flag.
 
<extSensor>.buttonCount() - Get the number of buttons on sensor.
 
<extSensor>.isButtonDown(button) - Returns whether the specified button is currently down.
 
viz.SENSOR_DOWN_EVENT - Called when a sensor button is pressed.
 
viz.SENSOR_UP_EVENT - Called when a sensor button is released.

Extension sensor methods do the trick, thanks.
