UI Controls mapping

[Matsiyan]

Probably not news to all the cool tech geeks out there, but I found some satisfaction this weekend (after the shift) in mapping all the Helm controls to a Logitech joystick; throttle, climb, dive, reverse, docking, shields, zoom, and even teamspeak push to talk. Plus I mapped science scan and next/prior to mouse buttons 🙂

[Blaze Strife]

Good job!

[Aramond]

What joystick do you use? I’ve got a Thrustmaster HOTAS X that I use for helming, but have never been able to map zoom to it.

[Blaze Strife]

I don’t have a joystick. 😛 Just the Steam Controller.

[Matsiyan]

@Aramond I have Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. I used the logitech software to map two of the buttons on the base to the T and Y keys. I suppose I could post my annotated controls.ini when I get a minute and appropriate access!

Here are the relevant lines of the controls.ini for Helm and Science with the additions and notes

Folks asked this week about joystick mapping for Helm.
This is what I currently use Helm UI Layout and Joystick Config Utility

Ooh @aramond may I have a copy of your controls please? Pretty please?

[Aramond]

@xiph No problem! I just need to get to my home computer, which probably won’t be until late tonight, or tomorrow.

[Charles Beaumont]

@xiph There’s a sample setup for the Thrustmaster HOTAS on the artemis wiki here if that helps: http://artemiswiki.pbworks.com/w/page/94528763/Joystick

[Xiph]

Oh thank you!

Aramond, I’m not back to my PC till the weekend, so no rush 🙂

; joystick modifiers
; ————————————————————————————-
; the analog joystick axes have a set of optional modifiers that can be used to precisely tune
; how your joystick herdware works with Artemis.
;
; after reading the joystick axis from the hardware, and getting back a value in the
; range of -1 to 1, these modifiers are applied IN ORDER:
;
; DEADZONE
; default is 0.0
; typical values are 0.0 to 0.3
; This modifier cuts out the center of the joystick’s range of motion, making the
; motion more stable for joysticks that have “twitchy” outputs. If your joystick
; is wiggling or otherwise unstable even when your hand isn’t on it, this modifier
; can help.
;
; MULTIPLY
; default is 1.0
; typical values are 1.0 OR -1.0
; This modifier multiplys it’s value by the joystick output. It can be used to
; expand or reduce a joystick’s range of motion, but it’s most useful to invert
; the joystick’s output.
;
; POWER
; default is 1.0
; typical values are 1.0 to 2.0
; This modifier gets the power of the joystick output, where the exponent is the
; value of POWER. Giving this a value greater than 1.0 makes the center of the
; joystick movement more precise, at the expense of precision when the joystick
; is near its maximum range of motion.
;
; ADD
; default is 0.0
; This modifier simply adds the number to the joystick output. If your joystick
; doesn’t prperly center, you can use this to compensate.
;
; HIGH_BOUND
; default is 1.0
; This modifier keeps the joystick output from going any higher than the value.
;
; LOW_BOUND
; default is -1.0
; This modifier keeps the joystick output from going any lower than the value.
