GamePort Monitor ***BETA***

[BrettS]

Well... I tried it the other night and it doesn't look hopeful. For some reason, even if HS2 is running when I start the gameport application it attempts to start HomeSeer 1.7. If I close 1.7 after it starts, then as soon as the gameport application senses a change and tries to update homeseer it just crashes.

::sigh:: now I need to determine just how important the gameport application is and whether I want to keep running HS2 without it.

I tried doing a 'remote' reference, but no luck. However, I did confirm that I finished the 'execute command' functionality in the latest version, so I can't imagine why it wouldn't work. Try it, apply & save, and see if it works.

It's possible that I don't have the latest version for some reason, so I'll try to download it again to make sure. I'm also playing around a bit with the plugin you referenced earlier which seems to work (with a few wierd issues) in HS 2. Hopefully one way or the other I'll be able to get everything going soon

Thanks again,
Brett

just downloaded the gameport monitor to play around with. when i start it i get this error message:

Run-time error '429':
Activex component can't create object

this is on a new install of win2k w/ SP4. any hints?

was the standalone version was never posted?

See the first post for the stand alone version. Which version of HS are you using?

 

[damage]

i'm not using homeseer. i downloaded the app from the first post & got that activex error...

 

[electron]

ah that's probably why, this app is still in Beta, I never removed the Homeseer activex reference, which is why you get this error. I haven't had much time to continue work on this project, since I have been so busy with other things, but it is pretty high on the list.

darn...guess i'll have to wait.

Has anyone seen a source for the USB to Gameport adapter that gives you 4 joystick ports?

electron,

any update on when you'll be able to get around to the standalone version of this app?

 

[electron]

I totallly forgot about this (had so much going on), but I did get a chance to reinstall my dev environment, so I will take a look at it asap. Thanks for the reminder!

 

[electron]

Here is a new version, with support for Homeseer removed. I haven't changed anything else, so I can't tell if things still work, but hopefully you can test it out for me

 

[damage]

thanks! hopefully i'll have some time tonight to try it out.

i loaded it up and configured everything. i can execute apps when i click simulate button presses. i've connected a joystick to it and it does see my joystick but when i click any of the buttons, the app doesn't see the button presses. when i go into control panel, i can see my joystick is there & i can press buttons & the config app recognizes button presses so i'm not sure why your app doesn't see it... any thoughts?
