I have my ps3 controller connected via the motioninjoy drivers. When I try to program it in eventghost it registers left and right dpad presses as "HID.Value.20 5" and "HID.Value.20 7". It immediately registers a "HID.Value.20 0" afterwards which is presumably to mark the dpad returning to normal. Unfortunately, this means it registers it twice as I can only specify "HID.Value.20" as an event, not "HID.Value.20 5". Therefore it will go right twice when I only want it to go once.
My up and down work because they register as independent buttons e.g. "HID.Button.12". Unfortunately, pressing right or left on the dpad for some reason will activate the up and down action as well. Does anyone know how I can fix these two problems please?
Also, how can I make an analog stick return the analog values to an XBMCRepeat profile?
I have a similar problem with my Gyration Air Remote. It literally sends 15 messages on some key presses. For those keys I came up with this work around macro I call "Key Fix" to catch the first one and ignore the rest. It seems to work well, only downside is there is a wait time between the key press and executing the macro but not enough to really notice.
It's simply
Wait: 1.0 sec; Gives time for the remote to stop transmitting. This can be shorter if there are fewer repeats.
Clear Pending Events; since this macro was triggered from the first code it cancels the rest that built up in the cue during the wait action.
Jump to ..., whatever ever macro your actually wanting to control.
Of course if anyone has a better solution I would be happy to hear it.
Ooh, and your other question. Some of my Gyration buttons are seen as two different input devices generating two commands. An example might be "HID.button.205" and "Keyboard.pause/play" from the same key press. The "Keyboard.pause/play" is also seen by the system and controls media players without using EventGhost. I assign "Keyboard.pause/play" to a do nothing comment which blocks it from being seen by the system and use "HID.button.205" for my events.
Unfortunately not all the system commands get blocked when assigned to a macro such as the volume up down keys. When ever I use them in EG to control a media players the system volume changes as well.
So I would check in other types of input devices and see if your getting multiple messages from one key press. If that's the case you may be able to block the unwanted ones.
Thanks for your reply. The delay thing works, although I need to have a 1.3 second delay to be effective. Still, better than nothing!
Unfortunately, I can't see a second input being registered when I press up and down so the two are still interchangable ie up = down and vice versa. So I still don't have a working solution
