i am attempting to interface processing with a novation launchpad device (8x8 button/led grid).
when this device is first connected via usb/drivers installed, it appears in applicable programs as "Launchpad."
when you move to a different usb port, it appears as "2- Launchpad"
additional usb ports create new devices "(n)- Launchpad"
returning the device to the first usb port returns to "Launchpad."
my issue is that variable names cannot begin with a number. i cannot figure out how to access any of the "(n)- Launchpad" devices from within processing. the appropriate libraries work just fine when the device is insatlled on the first usb port (and appears as "Launchpad") but not otherwise.
i have attempted to rename the device from within the registry to no avail.
