I have a usb joystick (Logitech Extreme 3D pro)

to use for controlling stuff in my synth (om). Is it possible to have it
show up as an alsa device? If so how? I don't know too much about
joysticks in the first place, but it seems to be connected to
/dev/input/js0, at least "cat /dev/input/js0" outputs garbage when
moving the joystick...
aseqjoy
It seems that aseqjoy doesn't support the buttons and also doesn't
allow to scale the joystick data in various ways.
If you need something more, I can very much recommend to use Pd in
conjunction with either the [joystick] external or the more general
[hid] external, which can map any USB hid device (mouse, joystick,
keyboard, sensors, dj consoles etc.) to whatever you want (Midi, OSC,
numbers etc.
[hid] comes with many utility objects dealing with things like
converting between polar and cartesian coordinates, which is handy if
for example you want to use the distance from the center as amplitude
and the angle as frequency. Try that with aseqjoy!
In short: [hid] is power- and wonderful.
