I hooked up a [print] to the [hid] object's first outlet. If you do
that you should see a constant stream of messages that look like this:
...
0x002c 561
0x002d 593
0x002e 512
...
0x002c, 0x002d and 0x002e identify the X, Y and Z messages, and the
numbers after them are the values. I was expecting them to show up as
regular gamepad messages, so I actually didn't know that I was getting
them at first.
