salut guys,

i am trying to connect the griffin powermate and make it work within processing, but it just won't work, also not i a exported application.
is there someone who made this before (i've seen flight404) and knows how to do it?

if you are connecting one, easy, just map the functions using the griffin drivers to certain keys, and in processing, use keyPress and have specific functions for each keypress (basically griffin emulate keyboard)

The reason that you are having this problem is that the Powermate is sending your keystrokes to the IDE and not to your processing sketch. You need to modify the *Global Settings* for the Powermate so that it sends keystrokes to whatever application has the current focus.

Granted, this might affect other programs on your system, but presumably those wouldn't have the user context while you are running processing.

Hope that helps!

I've done some programming directly against the Powermate here: http://www.conceptualinertia.net/aoakenfo/powermate

However, it was done using .NET (with C++/CLI and C#), so I don't think it will be very helpful to you (but you never know).

I just picked up Processing today, so getting the Powermate to work with it might be a good first project.
