Something that i will propably never success

Are you sure it is analog? When you press and hold a single direction (example: the "up" position), does it always send the same value? The reason I ask is a remote I have with a directional pad doesn't send the same code for a single direction. It defines four directions (up, left, right and down) and sends a rolling code while a direction is pressed.

For me, the big question is, "What do you want the directional pad events to do?" We might be able to come up with a solution which doesn't require a new plugin.

Hi giova,
so what exactly is your problem? you play around using your remote's joystick and girder starts to move the coursor? but it doesn't stop when you release the joystick?
it that's what your problem is, use the antirepeat wait time on the top right of girders screen, just left to the state button.

My remote contain a "mouse pad" it works like a joystick.

When i've made circles with it, it had sent so many IR codes, that i was'nt able to count how many there are.

To use it as a mouse controler , i would have to calibrate it with a pluggin :sad:

mission impossible :sad: :sad: :sad:

Here a photo of my remote :

No, my problem is that my "joystick" is analogique (NOT digital with only 9 positions), so i need to calibrate it, and have a real management of all data sent from this "analog joystick".

U can see him here:

I think that it means that i have to create a driver for that... mission impossible for me.

I can't use the anirremote software to only use its mouse driver and use girder to do all other jobs, because of course, two applications cannot use at the same time the same device (my COM port).

.........................thank u anyway......

No, it is not really an analog, but it have at least 16 poisitions, and maybe 32 or more*.

And For each position that you leave, there is a code different. So u have to count 2 IR codes per position (1 when u press, & 1 when u release)

So if i have 32 positions, i will have 64 IR codes to manage !!!

about positions: if i got 32 positions it would be because there is 2 tactil circles on my pad. Each Circle contain 16 positions.
The littlest circle is to move cursor slowly, and biggest circle to move cursor fast.

*I'm not sure of how many position it have, beccause they are so many, and IR communication, as u know, is too slow to allow me to make a good annalyse.

my biggest problem is that i should have 16 or 32 IR codes to manage, just to detect when user release the "joy pad" (stop to move cursor). Or maybe i should create a time out that detect when no IR wode are sent again... but i don't know how to do that.
