Hello again.
Unfortunately the Linux Mint 18 cannot get BlackWidow (see previous posts) to vibrate.
Have you managed to get Linux recognize force feedback joystick capability?
If, yes, then your help is needed to test if the SDL library we have prepared, actually works.
The following code will download in your downloads folder a small package.
It will extract it in a folder called hapticSDL and then execute the test.
Code:
$ cd ~/Downloads
~/Downloads$ wget http://terrastorage.no-ip.info/oolite/testhaptic.tgz
~/Downloads$ tar xzvf testhaptic.tgz
~/Downloads$ cd hapticSDL
~/Downloads/hapticSDL$ ./testhaptic.sh
It is assumed that you already have a Downloads folder in your home folder and that you have already confirmed that your Linux supports your joystick's vibration capabilities.
If the test reports
Code:
...
~/Downloads/hapticSDL$ ./testhaptic.sh
0 Haptic devices detected.
No Haptic devices found!
~/Downloads/hapticSDL$
...this is bad news, but share it anyhow.
We prefer that you see something like the following and the joystick vibrating
Code:
...
~/Downloads/hapticSDL$ ./testhaptic.sh
1 Haptic devices detected.
