Usb Joystick or gamepad
I was wondering if it would be possible to use a usb joystick or gamepad as a deck to be used with my streaming deck. Set up companion to assign the joystick ptz camera control.
I'm going to transfer this back to the primary companion repository as it's more of a core feature request rather than control for a specific piece of software/hardware.

No bumps are needed. The request has been made. Most of the developers' priorities were shifted due to COVID-19, so there are a lot of outstanding feature, bug, and module requests. If anyone has time to take this on and has questions, they can ping you here about it. If the feature is a major requirement for you, you are always welcome to offer a financial incentive to speed things up.
Ok thank you. Being new I wasn't sure how this all worked. Thank you for you time.
I have a nodejs script that triggers companion via OSC upon joystick/pedal events if anyone's interested.

At that point, why not simply integrate it directly with Companion to support such devices, and skip the entire need for OSC or external applications?
I guess we would want to integrate any input device like this as a surface. It is possible to add a joystick or a gamepad surface and write the linear values to custom variables, just beware that this will likely change in the future. The process of having surfaces as modules and being able to do more than button presses is in a very early phase but we definitely want to make it much easier to write modules for surfaces and support any control type.

simply because I don't have time to make a proper joystick-as-a-surface support PR for Companion. As an extra, I also did this with midi, so that my Mackie Control can control Companion buttons (also via OSC)
