Hi Object not Printing to Max Console
Hello,
I'm trying to map a patch to a joystick controller (I'm using the Saitek Cyborg Evo Force), and I can't seem to get the controller input to print in the Max console. I set up the Hi object to read from the Apple Mikey HID Driver, then plugged the joystick in and attached a Print to the left outlet of Hi, but no controller movements are showing up in the Max console. By contrast, they show up immediately when I set Hi to read from the trackpad.
My initial thought was that I lacked the driver required to run the joystick on a Mac, but according to the manufacturer none is required. Furthermore, under System Information, the computer is showing that it has properly identified and is receiving input from the joystick. For some reason, Max either will not read the input from the joystick, or is not receiving that input due to either a problem on the computer or a problem with the joystick itself. Has anyone else encountered this problem? This is a time-sensitive project so any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Do You allways plug Joystick AFTER starting max patch with hi object ?
That can't work. Joystick has to be present when hi objects gets initialised
and scans for HID objects.
AND why should Saitek Joystick indentify itself as Apple Mikey HID Driver ?
I would say, just let Hi object repopulate the menu with detected devices,
select the Saitek, and it should work.
