JoystickXL 0.4.3 Latest

Latest

This is a bugfix release to address an error in the processing of final values for inverted axes. If your project uses invert=True on an axis input you will definitely want to upgrade to this version.

Although not part of the library itself, this release also adds a couple of utility scripts in the extras folder to assist with development.

Note that there are now separate downloads that correspond to the version of CircuitPython you're targeting - *_cp9.zip is for CircuitPython 9.x, *_cp8.zip is for CircuitPython 8.x, and if you're running anything older than that you'll have to extract the uncompiled .py files from Source Code (zip) and use them as-is or compile them yourself with an appropriately ancient version of mpy-cross. 🤪

0.4.2

JoystickXL 0.4.2

This is a small (but long overdue) update that addresses the following:

Actually implemented the invert functionality for axis inputs. (Thank you to @kmatthews123 for pointing out the omission to me, and @assortedminorfixes for the pull request and implementation suggestion!)
Added graceful (read: silent) handling of OSError exceptions that get thrown occasionally when attempting to send a USB HID report to a busy host. (Thank you to @jamesra for bringing this issue to my attention and creating a pull request/suggested fix!)
Updated TestConsole to automatically use the GP2 input for the test button on RP2040-based devices.

0.4.1

JoystickXL 0.4.1

This is a minor update to accommodate a CircuitPython API change that was implemented in version 7.0.0-beta.0.

Note that - due to an issue in the beta.0 release - you will need to be running beta.1 (or newer) when released, or the "Absolute Newest" build 2021-08-24-da320c3 in the meantime.

0.4.0

JoystickXL 0.4.0

This release includes the following improvements:

Input sources are no longer limited to Pin or VirtualInput objects - you can assign any object with a .value attribute of the correct type (bool for buttons, int for axes) as an input source. This makes it much easier to work directly with many of the off-board peripherals that already have CircuitPython drivers. The example section has code demonstrating the use of an MCP23017 GPIO expander, an MCP3008 analog-to-digital converter and an MPR121 capacitive touch breakout.
The TestConsole() now supports using a digital input to resend the last typed command. This helps when testing an application that has to remain in focus in order to capture joystick events.
The TestConsole() axis + and - commands have been replaced by u and d, and they now ramp the axis up/down rather than just jump momentarily to the min/max value.
'TestConsole()' now includes a p command to set the press time for button/hat triggers. (Default press time is 0.25s.)
The .suppress attribute of input objects has been renamed to bypass. It sounds less draconian.
Axes 7 and 8 were previously swapped if num_axes was set to 8. This has been corrected.
The calculated idle position of axis objects was previously off by 1 (127 instead of 128). This has been corrected,
The documentation has been improved, and a number of new examples have been added.
