|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This driver provides access to the games adapter. The lower bit in the
|
|
minor device number selects the joystick: 0 is the first joystick and
|
|
1 is the second.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The game control adapter allows up to two joysticks to be attached to
|
|
the system. The adapter plus the driver convert the present resistive
|
|
value to a relative joystick position. On receipt of an output signal,
|
|
four timing circuits are started. By determining the time required for
|
|
the circuit to time-out (a function of the resistance), the paddle
|
|
position can be determined. The adapter could be used as a general
|
|
purpose I/O card with four analog (resistive) inputs plus four digital
|
|
input points.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Applications may call
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
on a game adapter driver file descriptor
|
|
to set and get the offsets of the two potentiometers and the maximum
|
|
time-out value for the circuit. The
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
commands are listed in
|
|
.Pa Aq machine/joystick.h
|
|
and currently are:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width JOY_GET_X_OFFSET -compact
|
|
.It JOY_SETTIMEOUT
|
|
Sets the maximum time-out for the adapter.
|
|
.It JOY_GETTIMEOUT
|
|
Returns the current maximum time-out.
|
|
.It JOY_SET_X_OFFSET
|
|
Sets an offset on X value.
|
|
.It JOY_GET_X_OFFSET
|
|
Returns the current X offset.
|
|
.It JOY_SET_Y_OFFSET
|
|
Sets an offset on Y value.
|
|
.It JOY_GET_Y_OFFSET
|
|
Returns the current Y offset.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All this commands take an integer parameter.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Xr read 2
|
|
on the file descriptor returns a
|
|
.Fa joystick
|
|
structure:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
struct joystick {
|
|
int x;
|
|
int y;
|
|
int b1;
|
|
int b2;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The fields have the following functions:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width xxx
|
|
.It Fa x
|
|
current X coordinate of the joystick (or position of paddle 1)
|
|
.It Fa y
|
|
current Y coordinate of the joystick (or position of paddle 2)
|
|
.It Fa b1
|
|
current state of button 1
|
|
.It Fa b2
|
|
current state of button 2
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The b1 and b2 fields in struct joystick are set to 1 if the
|
|
corresponding button is down, 0 otherwise.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The x and y coordinates are supposed to be between 0 and 255 for a
|
|
good joystick and a good adapter. Unfortunately, because of the
|
|
hardware hack that is used to measure the position (by measuring the
|
|
time needed to discharge an RC circuit made from the joystick's
|
|
potentiometer and a capacitor on the adapter), calibration
|
|
is needed to determine exactly what values are returned for a specific
|
|
joystick/adapter combination. Incorrect hardware can yield negative or
|
|
> 255 values.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A typical calibration procedure uses the values returned at lower
|
|
left, center and upper right positions of the joystick to compute the
|
|
relative position.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This calibration is not part of the driver.
