Pokeys

I just got finished loading hal_input to run a pokeys 55.The pins show up in Halshow,but as all these wacky game controller names,most with integer and float values attached to them.I configured the pokeys to be all inputs.Did I mess something? Should they be assigned keyboard values so they all come up as buttons?

They do not change at all.Permissions?
I have the following in ect/undev/rules as a file

SYSFS{1001}=="c00e",SYSFS{1dc3}=="046D",MODE="0660",GROUP="plugdev"

emc wont load with the pokeys removed,so my guess is it see's the device.Suggestions

John,

The names of the pins dont really matter .I do however need them all to be inputs.The first half of all the pins have s32 values attached instead of bitsThey all show as inputs and will change in the pokeys program that runs on my XP box..How did you set your pokeys up?Thanks

Andy,

After playing with the thing for a while,I set the EV options for hal input to -k and loaded two pokeys as thats what the system saw,like so

loadusr -W hal_input -K PoKeys:0 PoKeys:1

In halshow i get instance 0,which is about 20-30 buttons and instance 1 which is keys.


They do not change when a button would be pressed(right now im just grounding the the pin out,which causes its state to change in the pokeys i/o window in XP).Ive been watching in hal show.

I suspect a permissions thing.I added rule file to the ect/udev/rules.d like so

SYSFS=="1001", SYSFS=="1dc3", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev"

and another one like so


SUBSYSTEM=="input",MODE="0660",GROUP="plugdev"

Info on getting emc and pokeys to get along seems scarce at best.Got any suggestions?Thanks

JR
