[PD-dev] Re: new external, please add me to the CVS dev

[David Merrill]

Aah, ok - I'm on the dev list now. Here is the email that I sent 
directly to guenter before:

My external can scan for given input devices in linux and spit out the 
device file descriptor (i.e. /dev/input/event5) so that a particular 
device can be automatically connected to a patch when it's plugged in, 
or when the patch is started - rather than having to hard-code the 
descriptor - so it allows for a kind of "plug-and-play" for input 
devices. I've been using it with hans-christoph's linuxjoystick in order 
to avoid hard-coding the file descriptor, meaning that patch can always 
start up and be "live" regardless of what order devices were plugged in, 
etc.

thanks,
-David
