Detailed Description

Access to joysticks and gamepads (read buttons and position), and request number of joysticks in the system.

Note
New in MRPT 2.13.0: the API changed to support an arbitrary number of input axes.

◆ getJoystickPosition()

bool mvsim::Joystick::getJoystickPosition ( int  nJoy,
State output 
)

Gets joystick information.

This method will try first to open the joystick, so you can safely call it while the joystick is plugged and removed arbitrarly.

Parameters
nJoyThe index of the joystick to query: The first one is 0, the second 1, etc... See CJoystick::getJoysticksCount to discover the number of joysticks in the system.
xThe x axis position, range [-1,1]
yThe y axis position, range [-1,1]
zThe z axis position, range [-1,1]
buttonsEach element will hold true if buttons are pressed. The size of the vector will be set automatically to the number of buttons.
raw_x_posIf it is desired the raw integer measurement from JoyStick, set this pointer to a desired placeholder.
raw_y_posIf it is desired the raw integer measurement from JoyStick, set this pointer to a desired placeholder.
raw_z_posIf it is desired the raw integer measurement from JoyStick, set this pointer to a desired placeholder.
Returns
Returns true if successfull, false on error, for example, if joystick is not present.

◆ getJoysticksCount()

static int mvsim::Joystick::getJoysticksCount ( )
static

Returns the number of Joysticks in the computer.

◆ setLimits()

void mvsim::Joystick::setLimits ( const std::vector< int > &  minPerAxis,
const std::vector< int > &  maxPerAxis 
)

Set the axis limit values, for computing a [-1,1] position index easily Only required to calibrate analog joystick. It seems that these values must been calibrated for each joystick model.

Default values:

  • Windows: [0, 0xFFFF]
  • Linux: [-32767,32767]
