i was doing some animation with the xbox 360 controller, but i had a problem with calibrating it, it never stays int he center o the screen, so i add some math to calibrate the controller no big deal jus some substraction to make it stay in the center. is there another way to calibrate the device axis?

thnx

not sure

I'm not sure of the xbox360 controller, but the wiimote has some built-in calibration values for the accelerometers (in both the wiimote and the nunchuk). For the tilt axis though, there doesn't seem to be any, so it also needs device-specific calibration sometimes.

I don't know of a good automatic way to do this... ideally, Quality Control at the device factory should test for this, and compensate for it...

Re: not sure

I was wondering how you were able to implement actions from the controller with the HID patch.

Did you decode some of the messages being sent? I would really love to see a screen shot of the HID to some actions. Or if you could load up the qtz file if it wasn't too much trouble.

I am just not sure how to go about translating any values from a controller.

Thanks!
