Hi,

I try to implement sensors in SDL2 library.
Original code : https://github.com/BSzili/SDL/blob/mos-sdl2/src/joystick/morphos/SDL_sysjoystick.c

I have a PS4 gamepad connected (xbox360.class on trident) to test.

I have a lot of questions : i try to explain, sorry for my english.....

1. initialization of sensors ?

Code:
```
static const size_t sensortags[] = { SENSORS_Class, SensorClass_HID, SENSORS_Type, SensorType_HID_Gamepad, TAG_DONE };
sensorlist = ObtainSensorsList((struct TagItem *)&sensortags), sensor = NULL;
```
After MorphOS startup, i need to launch Trident to see my controller into Sensorlist.
Exist any code to initialize sensors ?
in library i open library here : https://github.com/BSzili/SDL/blob/mos-sdl2/src/core/morphos/SDL_library.c#L384

2. when i see my controller :

In original code of Itix, SENSORS_HID_Serial return nothing ?!

Code:
```
CONST_STRPTR serial = NULL;
size_t qt[] = { SENSORS_HIDInput_Name_Translated, SENSORS_HID_Serial, (size_t)&serial, TAG_DONE };
```
In trident, same i dont have Serial (serial #: n/a), so how to generate a serial ?

3. Examples sensors.library codes

I search somes examples how use sensors.library but it's really rare....
I only find : https://bitbucket.org/BSzili/joysensors/src/master/joysensors.c

Done for this first step..

Thanks you

Hi!
Please take a look at ACE, the source of the joystick plug-in uses this library. I was just discussing with Philippe about my joystick...

The Plugin SDK contains the sources for only one plugin: AMX Mouse.

@BSzili
No no, it's a lhasa bug, all plug-ins are included.

I see, then the aminet file list is wrong too.

Just 'Save' your USB settings and the xbox360.class will remain on the list.

Sensors.library is initialized on boot. You might want to force-load the xbox360.class though.

Some devices do not report one. There's nothing for you to generate.

@Jaca : thanks.

Other question.

When new Sensor is detected by SensorsNotificationMessage,
how to put it in exist sensorlist (opened before) ?

I dint want use ReleaseSensorsList and ObtainSensorsList again because
i lost all child sensor on other joystick after that.

Code is an example incomplete : Init call first, and Update is call non-stop (SDL2)

Code:


APTR sensorlist;
APTR sensorchild_list[32];
struct MsgPort *notifyPort
APTR sensorsNotify;
ULONG joystick_count;

static void Init() {
  APTR sensor = NULL;
  ULONG count = 0;
  sensorlist = ObtainSensorsListTags(SENSOR_Class, SensorClass_HID, TAG_DONE);
  while (sensor = NextSensor(sensor, sensorlist, NULL)) {
        sensorchild_list[count++] = sensor;
  }
  joystick_count = count;
  if (notifyPort = CreateMsgPort()) {
	sensorsNotify = StartSensorNotifyTags(NULL,
	        SENSORS_Notification_Destination, (IPTR)notifyPort,
                SENSORS_Class, SensorClass_HID,
                SENSORS_Notification_ClassListChanged, TRUE,
     		SENSORS_Notification_Removed, FALSE,
		TAG_DONE);	
  }

}

static void update() 
{
 if (notifyPort)  {
	struct SensorsNotificationMessage *notifyMsg;
	while ((notifyMsg = (struct SensorsNotificationMessage *)GetMsg(notifyPort))) {
		sensorchild_list[joystick_count] = notifyMsg->Sensor;
		joystick_count++;
		ReplyMsg(notifyMsg);
	}

}

in Update, notifyMsg->Sensor give a new Sensor, but i can read it after because not present in sensoslist...
Any little help, thanks, I hope it's understandable...

You are not allowed to modify the list returned by ObtainSensorsList - and you should NOT keep that list around. That prevents removing the sensors from the system if a gamepad is unplugged.

What you should do instead is:
- ObtainSensorsList() to find the gamepad you need; make a copy of sensors and their attributes if you need to keep your own list,
- StartSensorNotify for gamepads you've selected for use in game
- ReleaseSensorsList()

Then if you get a notify that the gamepads list has changed, obtain the sensors list again, see if the gamepads you have a notify pending on are still there. If yes, keep them around. If no, StopSensorNotify on them and pick new ones.

Hope this explains it.

Thanks you very much again... i see the light now

Need to rebase some codes on SDL2.

@jacadcaps
Apropos sensors, if I boot the ISO then my joystick is part of the list.
If I boot the system, even without startup-sequence, it's lost.
I removed the Poseidon settings, still no joystick. Have you got any idea?

You need to perform a class scan and save the prefs.

Speaking of sensors, usb joysticks, mapping etc, is it possible for anyone from MorphOS Team, to create a similar utility for Prefs with Joystick Calibration for Windows using the new Sensors? Will the new Sensors ease their job somehow?

I did not initially bother with that because the support was created with original Xbox gamepads in mind and these are factory calibrated. That said, the sensors API makes it perfectly possible for a 3rd party to write such an app.

Thanks

How can we have a unique identifiers on HID devices same as childs-sensors (SENSORS_HIDInput_ID) ?

In SDL2, there is an function to Init Joystick, this fonction just store device in list. (and return number of deveice)

In my first version, i dont have any problem because i dont use notification support (no hotplug).
But if i want to support it, i need to rewrite all with notification support.

Actualy Sources: https://github.com/BSzili/SDL/blob/mos-sdl2/src/joystick/morphos/SDL_sysjoystick.c
Code:
```
static int
SDL_SYS_JoystickInit(void)
{
	int rc = -1;

	APTR sensor = NULL;
	ULONG count = 0;

	D("[%s] Obtain sensor list...n", __FUNCTION__);
	sensorlist = ObtainSensorsListTags(SENSORS_Class, SensorClass_HID, /*SENSORS_Type, SensorType_HID_Gamepad,*/ TAG_DONE);
	while ((sensor = NextSensor(sensor, sensorlist, NULL)) && count < MAX_JOYSTICKS)
	{
		JoySensor[count++] = sensor;
	}

	D("[%s] Found %ld joysticks...n", __FUNCTION__, count);
	joystick_count = count;
	rc = count;
	return rc;
}
```
If i have an ID unique for it, i could store just this ID on my joystick list, no need to store Sensor or SensorNotify on my list and no need to start Notify on joystick (maybe just need StartSensorNotify to detect new device)

When i open Joystick, i could start all notifications on device and close it when i close my joystick.

And with that i can identify easily witch device plug or unplug and find it in my first list..

hi, i try Rumbles Sensors, i can't stop Rumble in progress :

SDL2 launch a first call with no duration (so i put 5000 ms in Rumble_Duration to test)
in second call SDL2 launch a stop Rumble (with 0 in duration and 0 in power), but
SetSensorAttrsTags doesnt to take effect with 0 in value Rumble_Power and 0 in Rumble_Duration.

Any hit to stop Rumble ?
Thanks

Sorry, I haven't had a chance to look into this yet. Probably during the weekend...

Which gamepad was that? (for the rumble)

ok no problem.

i have Xbox360 Controller (WIRED), i see 2 rumbles : "Large Rumble Motor" and "Small Rumble Motor"
In PS4 Dualshock, drivers doesnt see Rumbles.

Take a look at the proposed API of the lib. This should be very easy to integrate into SDL.

Guys, I've invited both of you to the github project where I'm working on this.

To address some initial concerns: there will be NO problems with hotplug and HID-joysticks and co will be supported by the lib. They'll simply be mapped as best as possible to the standard gamepad layout.

As you can see the code doesn't really work yet. Give me a couple of days...
