public void setup() {

control = ControlIO.getInstance(this); 
stick = control.getMatchedDevice("DrumController"); 
minim = new Minim(this); 
player = minim.loadFile("Kick.wav", 500); 
if (stick == null) { println("No Device Configured"); System.exit(-1);

player.play();

I am using this code to use a PS3 controller to play a sound when one of the buttons is pressed. I have the sound file in and controller configuration in my project folder. Any help on reasons that it still won't play the sound when the button is pressed???

Make sure that the configuration file does not match another device attached to the system e.g. mouse

Can you copy the display the contents of the "DrumController" file in this discussion.

DO NOT POST DUPLICATE DISCUSSIONS. I have deleted the other one.

Also look at how to format text and code for this forum. Then EDIT your post above until the code is correctly displayed.

Here's the content of the "DrumController" file:

OK it will look for a device that has 8 buttons called 9 8 10 11 13 14 7 6

All these buttons are available on the PS3 controller, I just tried it. So it is likely that you have actually connected with the PS3 controlled. Try changing draw to

void draw() { 
  if (stick.getButton("Circle").pressed() == true) { 
    println("Circle button pressed");
    player.rewind(); 
    player.play();
  }
} 

Do you see Circle button pressed in the console window when you press the button?

No, nothing appears in the window...

Ok, so for some reason it all of a sudden wanted to work. Not sure what changed, but it's doing what it should now. Thanks for the help.
