I am writing an instrument for a friend. He wants to assign game controller buttons to AM instrument functions which works fine. But if there is more than one game controller with the same name, only one is found by the game_controller_list() function.
The instrument attached here can be used to list game controllers
is there a solution to get *all* USB controllers with the game_controller_list() function? If there are more controllers with the same name, only one is found. Maybe it is a problem only with the Thrustmaster TCA yoke. I cannot test that.
I had the exact problem using two or more Leo Bodner cards. The solution for me was to download the Firmware updater and rename them to "Interface 1" and "Interface 2", you don't have a full choice on names. This solved the ID problem.
@navimustang,
sorry, I did not check up on this subject for some time. Thank you for reporting your findings. In my case that is not a solution because I do not have a method to change the game controller names.
I have not checked for a long time. But I think Airmanager can still not differentiate between two USB controllers with the same name.
Yeah, the API part is simple. Should indeed have some kind of index.
The issue in that there is no easy solution to have a clean coupling between the hardware and the given names.
AM would have to persist what name it gave to what HID device (commonly identified by the physical USB port it is connected to).
HID devices don't have a unique identifier to go by.
I understand this is annoying, but at the same time quite complicated to fix reliably,
