PS Move API (Release 2) ======================= The PS Move API provides three different APIs for accessing the PS Move Motion Controller via USB or Bluetooth. The most basic API is the C API, which allows you to write applications targetting the PS Move controller in C. Based on that, two high-level APIs exist: A Python binding, which allows developers to quickly prototype applications and script behavior using Python, and a C++ library using the Qt Framework. In addition to allowing developers to interface with the PS Move controller from C++, the C++ library includes annotations and extensions that are needed to utilize the PS Move controller from within the declarative user interface description language QML. The library is available for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux (USB and Bluetooth). ========== WIP features for release 3 ======================== - moved: A daemon for Linux to maintain Bluetooth connections - moved-client: Example demo of how to use the client library - Integration of moved support into the PS Move API - Right now, the throughput is not as fast as on OS X, though - moved TODO: Implement support for getting the BT address ============================================================== Features include: * Setting the RGB LED color and rumble intensity (USB and Bluetooth) * Read the status of the digital buttons (Bluetooth only) * Read the status of the analog trigger (Bluetooth only) * Read sensor values for the accelerometer and gyroscope (Bluetooth only) New features in v2: * New, more permissive license (Simplified BSD) * Support for reading the battery level/charging state (psmove_get_battery) * Experimental support for reading the temperature (psmove_get_temperature) * Various fixes to improve building on different systems and with/without Qt * A few new examples |- Windows notes ----------- -- - - | If you are using MinGW from the Qt SDK, you have to replace the file | libbthprops.a in mingw\lib\ with the file of the same name from the | mingw-w64 package. A modified set of Bluetooth headers can be found in | contrib\mingw-w64-headers if you need them - they are taken from the | mingw-w64 distribution and have been modified to work with Qt SDK's mingw. | | If for some reason, you get an assertion error (hFind != NULL) on Windows | with psmovepair, it could be that you are not using the Windows Bluetooth | stack. Whatever the reason is, the psmovepair utility accepts a command-line | parameter that is the desired host address, so you can still pair the device | by figuring out the Bluetooth host address manually and using this as the | first parameter when starting psmovepair, e.g.: | | psmovepair.exe AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF | | If you have Python 2.7 and Swig (tested with 2.0.4) installed, the Python | module will be built and can be used normally. If you want to try out the | samples, use the follwing (assuming you built the project in "build/": | | set PYTHONPATH=..\build\ | set PATH=%PATH%;C:\python27\ | python psmove_test.py | . The library also includes several examples in C, Python and C++ (Qt). A Test GUI has been developed to test the library features without having to write any code at all, and to serve as an example for developing custom solutions. A QML movie trailer browser was also developed as part of the project to demonstrate the possibilities of using the trigger and gyroscope for navigation gestures. The PS Move protocol information is based on information from the the linmctool and Move On PC projects. The "unity" subproject includes the source for bindings to the API using C# / Unity. It can be used to create application in the Unity Framework. This project has been contributed by the Copenhagen Game Collective (thanks to Douglas Wilson et al) and has its own homepage at: http://www.copenhagengamecollective.org/unimove/ The "glib" subproject includes the source for bindings to GObject using Vala and GIR. This will eventually allow you to interface with the PS Move API from JavaScript (using the GJS interpreter) and other languages supporting GObject Introspection. The GLib bindings are very(!) incomplete and not well tested.
