GamePad add your own controllers/classes

For some GamePad models, classe have been written already.

For other models, you will have to make your own map of 

which button uses which ID number or 'cookie'.

(

GamePad.startHID(0); // read all USB devices

// post everything the connected HIDs know about themselves:

HIDDeviceService.devices.do({arg dev;

"".postln; 

[dev.manufacturer, dev.product, dev.vendorID, dev.productID, dev.locID].postln;

dev.elements.do({arg ele;

" ".post; [ele.type, ele.usage, ele.cookie, ele.min, ele.max].postln;

});

});

)

e.g. for a (Chinese) DragonRise Joystick, the vendorID is 121, 

and following the posted element descriptions, the maps are something like: 

[ DragonRise Inc.  , Generic   USB  Joystick  , 121, 6, 990904320 ]

[ Button Input, Button #1, 4, 0, 1 ]

[ Button Input, Button #2, 5, 0, 1 ]

[ Button Input, Button #3, 6, 0, 1 ]

[ Button Input, Button #4, 7, 0, 1 ]

[ Button Input, Button #5, 8, 0, 1 ]

[ Button Input, Button #6, 9, 0, 1 ]

[ Button Input, Button #7, 10, 0, 1 ]

[ Button Input, Button #8, 11, 0, 1 ]

[ Button Input, Button #9, 12, 0, 1 ]

[ Button Input, Button #10, 13, 0, 1 ]

[ Button Input, Button #11, 14, 0, 1 ]

[ Button Input, Button #12, 15, 0, 1 ]

[ Button Input, Page: 0xff00, Usage: 0x1, 16, 0, 1 ]

[ Miscellaneous Input, X-Axis, 17, 0, 255 ]

[ Miscellaneous Input, Y-Axis, 18, 0, 255 ]

[ Miscellaneous Input, Z-Axis, 19, 0, 255 ]

[ Miscellaneous Input, Z-Axis, 20, 0, 255 ]

[ Miscellaneous Input, Z-Rotation, 21, 0, 255 ]

[ Miscellaneous Input, Hatswitch, 22, 0, 7 ]
