HID demo

paging @jlmitch5 for magic trackpad discussion

I can’t tell where hid (singluar) is defined. it’s the thing (table, I think) where you are getting devices, vports, connect, etc. can you explain that a little bit?

Are you trying hid-events.lua?

hid. is the system table for usb connected HIDs. Works the same as grid. or midi. tables to connect to a device, etc.

All that is defined in ~/norns/lua/core/hid.lua or in the norns reference at http://norns.local/doc/classes/hid.html

Ah cool got it! 20 char

AFAIK, there is no speech synthesis implemented in SuperCollider, the only way this was working previously, was calling external libraries from the language (not the server), which means that it is not possible to e.g. route its output through effects…

There’s some formant speech stuff in the Plaits engine (Macro P Oscillator) Mi-engines

Sadly the word list is pretty limited.

I should make a map of values for the existing words/letters/numbers.

This isn’t the right thread for my query but it’s kind of relevant…

Did anyone come up with a solution for HID keyboards which register themselves multiple times? eg. Atreus 1, Atreus 2, 3 etc.

Despite having the keyboard show up many times in the HID list, I get no output from HID-KEYBOARD-TEST.

Frustratingly, I have had it work for me through various incantantions but I can’t remember the technique.

No solution for the multiple HID-device indicators - but if anyone else has an issue with no output from the hid-events.lua, try to change the usb cable or power supply.

Did anybody manage to run the shell example? I can’t get print(2) to work. Already opened an issue on github but maybe somebody else in here could point me in the right direction

github.com/okyeron/hid-demo

print() throws Syntax error

modularev

Using the shell.lua with print(2) throws Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

It’s been awhile and I’m fuzzy on details, but the script is just sending an exec of whatever you type.

It’s not very sophisticated.

What are you trying to accomplish?

This isn’t specific to this script, but in general it is not a bug for a keyboard to enumerate as multiple devices. For example, one device for alphanumeric keys, one for media control keys, etc. - that seems to be how they are designed.

Recently added some means to filter for devices matching specific interface profile (hid_device_class.lua - not complete but you can see the idea.)

@arev the script implements a bash shell, not a REPL to the lua environment.

well the main goal is that I want to create a text based 4 track looper. tbh it‘s my first project on the norns other than the simple lua coding examples and my first steps with sc (confident in max/msp and faust).
I thought your hid examples were a good way of starting with running commands in a terminal style console. So if you have any tips that could help me achieve my goal it‘d be greatly appreciated!

However, regarding my issue matron shows me the error message mentioned in the github issue, other than the expected print of the number.

EDIT: did not see the comment from @zebra before - sorry, so a simple case of user error

Game pad and Wacom tablet as music controllers is relevant to my interests.
