Control Router

derammo edited this page Jun 17, 2020 · 1 revision

[video being created] This control is a "power toy" for advanced users. It can be bound to one or more (physical) input devices such as axes on controller or supported external hardware devices. Then it will automatically control the most recently selected rotary control when the physical control is moved. This allows for interaction styles like clicking on a brightness knob in Helios and then turning a real physical knob to move it precisely, sharing this same knob with many other functions by just clicking on them.

It would not be wrong to say this was created primarily for derammo's own use. More documentation and video will be required to fully demonstrate what this device can do, but it is included in the Helios 1.6 release as the optional interface "Control Router" so it can be used by adventurous users.

The first release of this control only supports rotary controls and has 4 ports (for 4 physical input devices) preconfigured, though more ports can be created by changing the profile XML if you really need to.
