Using a DirectInput JoystickThis has been tested with version 8.1. It works with both multi-button joysticks and with force-feedback joysticks. So far, only tested with the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2. Before using a DirectInput joystick, you need to download the DirectInput SDK from www.microsoft.com/directx. Install it in the recommended directory (C:\DXSDK). Once the SDK is installed, edit the vrpn_Configure.h. file and uncomment the definition for using direct input. Then rebuild the vrpn_server application. Now you can instantiate the joystick. Note that you can use the joystick as a tracker by adding an AnalogFly that listens to its values. |
