[PD] hid vs. ddr gamepad

[Kyle Klipowicz]

Here is what [print( says:

hid_hid
first_argument == &s_
[hid] setting device# to 0
first_argument == &s_
info: open 1
info: device 1

[hid] found 9 elements:

  TYPE	CODE	#	EVENT NAME
-----------------------------------------------------------
  rel	rel_x	0	Miscellaneous Input, X-Axis
  rel	rel_y	0	Miscellaneous Input, Y-Axis
  key	btn_0	0	Button Input, Button #1
  key	btn_1	0	Button Input, Button #2
  key	btn_2	0	Button Input, Button #3
  key	btn_3	0	Button Input, Button #4
  key	btn_4	0	Button Input, Button #5
  key	btn_5	0	Button Input, Button #6
  rel	rel_wheel	0	Miscellaneous Input, Wheel

Sooooo, I attached a [print KYLE] to the left outlet, and then message
[hid] with [device 3( and I get this:
first_argument == &s_
info: open 1
info: device 3
KYLE: abs abs_z 128
KYLE: abs abs_rz 128
KYLE: abs abs_x 128
KYLE: abs abs_y 128

And then nothing else, no matter what buttons on the gamepad I press.
The gamepad itself lights up, so is getting power, and it's listed by
hid. It works (badly) at controlling Super Mario World on the SNES9X
emulator, so I know the buttons work.

Any ideas or data collection you'd like for me to do?
