As a drummer in my past life this sounds pretty sweet, but unfortunately I don't have the development / programming skills to help you out. I still have my acoustic kit, but no triggers or electronics anymore to play with :( -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Sebastiaan van Erk Sent: Friday, May 22, 2009 10:00 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: FreeBSD as USB joystick Hi, I'm wondering if I can turn my FreeBSD into a (very expensive ;-)) joystick. That is, I have a PS2 and want to be able to control it via my laptop.=20 This would amount to connecting a USB cable between my PS2 and my=20 laptop, and getting the PS2 to detect it as a joystick with the right=20 identifier string, and being able to send button presses etc via my=20 laptop to the PS2. Does anybody have any starting points as to how I can achieve this? Regards, Sebastiaan P.S.: For those of you who must know, I want to interface my electronic=20 drum module (Roland TD-9KS) with the Rockband game. The idea is to use a cheap midi card and convert the incoming notes into joystick button=20 presses.... :) <font size=3D"1"> <div style=3D'border:none;border-bottom:double windowtext 2.25pt;padding:0i= n 0in 1.0pt 0in'> </div> "This email is intended to be reviewed by only the intended recipient and may contain information that is privileged and/or confidential.
