Reads data from a P5 Glove controller.

Plugin opcode in p5g. This opcode is part of the plugin repository and has to be installed separately. The plugin repository can be found here: https://github.com/csound/plugins

Opens and at control-rate polls a P5 Glove controller.

Syntax

p5gconnect

Initialization

The opcode locates a P5 Glove attached to the computer by USB, and starts a listener thread to poll the device.

Performance

Every control cycle the glove is polled for its position, and finger and button states. These values are read by the p5gdata opcode.

Examples

Here is an example of the p5g opcodes. It uses the file p5g.csd.
