Used to combine two Xbox Adaptive Joysticks as a single gamepad. Works very nicely using vendor+product+number to distinguish the two input controllers. Configuration was a bit confusing because this is registered as a gamepad, and the code assumes joysticks: buttons are offset by 16 from the expectation. Fortunately the software doesn't complain about high numbers. Gamepad button 0 is at 16, etc. Only problem I had was trying to configure the face buttons on the left joystick as a dpad HAT. Pressing the button correctly sets the axis to max, but it doesn't reset to 0 when the button is released. I ended up writing some code to handle it, but this should be fixed. I had tried, e.g.: button vendor=0x045e product=0x0b1a number=0 src=16 target=joyaxis axis=17 flags=invert

Using code on SBC device to connect external joystick, as all aplications on OS have SDLKey bindings. Works miracles, thank u Alexandre!

Recommended Projects

vJoy
This project was originally designed to provide an open-source replacement for PPJoy. The product, at this point, consists of virtual joystick devices that is seen by the system as a standard joystick but its position-data is written to it by a feeder application. An existing feeder application that takes advantage of this product is SmartPropoPlus. If you are an application writer you can very easily write an application that controls a joystick (e.g. mouse-to-joystick, keyboard-to-joystick). If you are a beginner in device drivers you can take this code and enhance it to support more (or less) axes, buttons or POVs.
SDLJoytest
SDLJoytest is a program which will allow you to select from all joysticks found on the system (by SDL), and then test that selected joystick or other game controller. SDLJoytest requires X, SDL, libGL & libGLU and, of course, a joystick to test.
