[PD] HID double triggers

[Andrew Faraday]

I've had this problem before with [hid], apparently it's a hardware issue called 'debouncing', which is often ignored because it is often irrelevant (pushed is pushed, for game controllers, rather than a button-on/button-off signal used for most music systems). 

You can deal with the problem in pure data by using a trigger, float and delay of one millisecond. See the attached patch, click the message boxes and watch your terminal for the result. 

I hope this helps.

    Hi list,

    

    recently I've been playing around with [hid] again and still have
    the issue with double triggers on linux (see previous post here).

    

    I've downloaded the latest version of
    
    Pd-0.43.1-extended-ubuntu-lucid-i386.deb
    but I have the same problem with my existing Arch Linux installation
    on my laptop as well.

    

    It works fine on Mac 10.6. The problem is that I basically get two
    identical events for each key press and release, ie:

      [hid] opened device 4 (/dev/input/event4): AT Translated Set 2
      keyboard

      print: key key_u 1

      print: key key_u 1

      print: key key_u 0

      print: key key_u 0

    

    Is anyone else having this problem?

    

    thanks

    

    James
