Hey guys, I am needing some help. I am trying to use a Potentiometer (And later some buttons and probably more pots) to control a game. (This is kind-of an offshoot of this forum that I made, but I have figured out some different stuff and a lot has changed. VJoy uses channels and the Serial port (USB) to simulate a controller, which is exactly what I need and I have verified that it works in my game. The question is, how do I create channels that VJoy will listen to when I turn the Potentiometer? Right now, I have the potentiometer putting out values in byte form, I'm not sure if that would be correct or not.. I need some help here. Any tips are probably useful, and an answer to the channels thing would be preferable and amazing. Thank you so much!!!
(Just for reference, I am outputting the amount with this function:
byt potAmt = byte(analogRead(pot));
Given that the potentiometer has been defined as pot.)
Analogread will give a 10 bit value.
If you cast to 8 bit size you will loose the 2 most significant bits.
Maybe better do a bitshift before the cast and loose the least significant bits
byte val = byte((analogRead(pin)>>2);
By the way, it is completely unclear how you plan to send your reading to the PC...
Is there any code yet?
