Trying to publish buttons as joystick and gyro data at the same time
Hello, I'm trying to use your library as sc-xbox.py does but at the same time I would like to publish the gyro data (this is for making a ROS node to publish all this).
I also would like to set the left pad to publish as all the range of values between 1.0 and -1.0 not only 1.0, 0.0, -1.0.
And finally give some haptic feedback on both pads.
For now I've been able to do a dump.py version that dumps also the gyro data. But I think writting a node that writes all the joystick buttons and the gyro data from scratch sounds like an overkill considering how close to be what I need is the code I found.
If I could setup two callbacks for the input data to process the gyro data separately I would have everything but configuring the left pad to be like the right pad in xbox mode.
I've tried to make a Gamepad Uinput class which has different Axis ranges (I think those are the ranges, the numbers defined in the axes= field) but I couldn't make it work.
Copy pasting the full process method and give some modifications just to handle the gyro also sounds like an overkill.
I would be very grateful for some feedback. Sorry if the issue is a bit chaotic, I've been writting it as I tried stuff.
Oh, and I checked that the quaternion data is actually a quaternion and given in the form (w, x, y, z).
Checked it with this little code: https://gist.github.com/awesomebytes/d9dad21ba07eed27adb8
Video of it working: https://youtu.be/vIwJa4dtiyo
I hope I can help a little bit with this info.
Thanks for the info, I'll try to add gyro data into the event mapper, but I still have to add a good strategy to permits the different possible use case.
The use case I have encountered for the moment are :
- Gyro as axis stand alone or in complement of another input.
- Gyro as mouse stand alone or in complement of another input.
Many mapping I saw use a pad for fast move and gyro for precise move.

Function I want to implement soon:
- Enable gyro condition (always on, or on specific button event)
- Use gyro as mouse (add yaw, pitch, roll accell to mouse event with a scale factor).
- Use gyro as an axis (compute yawn, pitch or roll from quaternion, normalize to -32768 32768 and use it as an axe)
