JInput with Windows Calibration and proprietary device drivers.

Engines, Libraries and Tools JInput
#1

Hello,

I am new to JInput development here. My question is what effect does the default windows calibration tool (for joysticks) have on the values that you will receive from the axis polling in JInput? Will it even change them?

Also, I have 1 machine that has a proprietary Saitek device driver installed for the joystick. When you try to bring up the default windows calibration panel after the driver has been installed, you get a custom screen for Saitek. How does a propriety driver effect JInput? I’m wondering where in the “stack” JInput sits.

Thanks,

Connor

The default calebration tools should effect JInput, I believe that it effects the values as returned by directx, which is what we read on windows.
As long as the driver exposes the device as a directx device then JInput will pick it up.
