Thanks, i need this confirmation.

Well from the wrapped hidapi (https://github.com/libusb/hidapi) that the 
object uses is totally easy to write to the device but i'm scared about 
it. They warm that writing (incorrect values i suppose) can brick the 
device.

I only have an cheap USB ps2 compatible joystick to test. I don't know 
yet how to start. In theory I can have a "write" method alla:

[write 1 0 255 255 127 0(
|
[hidraw]

but i'm unsure what to write.

Also I read in https://github.com/libusb/hidapi/issues/167 that certain 
things like making the joystick rumble is not possible directly via hidapi.

I'll have to dig more may be for version 0.2.0.

Any feature request, discussion or knowledge can continue on 
https://github.com/Lucarda/pd-hidraw

PS: as of v0.1.0 i'm totally happy that is so easy an cheap to hack an 
usb joystick an make an 12 foot-switch pedal. Or use the joystick as a 
modulation wheel, etc. :)
