.Dt JOY 4 i386
.Sh NAME
.Nm joy
.Nd joystick device driver
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd device joy0 at isa? port "IO_GAME"
.Fd #include <machine/joystick.h>
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The joystick device driver allows applications to read the status of
the PC joystick.
.Pp
This device may be opened by only one process at a time.
.Pp
The joystick status is read from a structure via a read()
call. The structure is defined in the header file as follows:
.Pp
.Bd -literal -offset indent
struct joystick {
int x; /* x position */
int y; /* y position */
int b1; /* button 1 status */
int b2; /* button 2 status */
};
.Ed
.Pp
Positions are typically in the range 0-2000.
.Ss One line perl example:
perl -e 'open(JOY,"/dev/joy0")||die;while(1)
.br
{sysread(JOY,$x,16);@j=unpack("iiii",$x);print "@j\\n";sleep(1);}'
.Ss ioctl calls
Several ioctl() calls are also available. They take an argument of
type int *
.Bl -tag -width JOY_SET_X_OFFSET
.It Dv JOY_SETTIMEOUT Fa int *limit
Set the time limit (in microseconds) for reading the joystick
status. Setting a value
too small may prevent to get correct values for the positions (which
are then set to -2147483648), however this can be useful if one is
only interested by the buttons status.
.It Dv JOY_GETTIMEOUT Fa int *limit
Get the time limit (in microseconds) used for reading the joystick
status.
.It Dv JOY_SET_X_OFFSET Fa int *offset
Set the value to be added to the X position when reading the joystick
status.
.It Dv JOY_SET_Y_OFFSET Fa int *offset
Set the value to be added to the Y position when reading the joystick
status.
.It Dv JOY_GET_X_OFFSET Fa int *offset
Get the value which is added to the X position when reading the joystick
status.
.It Dv JOY_GET_Y_OFFSET Fa int *offset
Get the value which is added to the Y position when reading the joystick
status.
.Sh TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The pinout of the DB-15 connector is as follow:
.Pp
1 XY1 (+5v)
2 Switch 1
3 X1 (potentiometer #1)
4 Switch 1 (GND)
5 Switch 2 (GND)
6 Y1 (potentiometer #2)
7 Switch 2
8 N.C.
9 XY2 (+5v)
10 Switch 4
11 X2 (potentiometer #3)
12 Switch 3&4 (GND)
13 Y2 (potentiometer #4)
14 Switch 3
15 N.C.
.Pp
Pots are normally 0-150k variable resistors (0-100k sometimes), and
according to the IBM techref, the time is given by
Time = 24.2e-6s + 0.011e-6s * R/Ohms
