After searching far and wide, I was finally able to aquire the information
to read the Uforce in "Analog Mode". This required a working, standard
NES controller byte-read routine which I figured out studying the lores
code for the PowerGlove for the Atari. After a little futzing around
with timing values, I have come up with some code which works fine on
my 7.14Mhz A1000 w/68010 and WB 2.04. It probably will not work perfectly
on accelerated machines, but give it a try.
These routines use the same cable as the hires Amiga PowerGlove hack.
Notice that this is not the same cable as the "Amazing Computing Tech"
PowerMouse hack from the first issue; I didn't feel like translating lots
of Modula-2 code to C. The first step to use this software is build
the cable. Next, *POWER OFF YOUR AMIGA* and plug the cable into the
parallel port and the Uforce. I cannot emphasize this enough... *TURN
OFF YOUR AMIGA BEFORE PLUGGING IN EXPANSION DEVICES*! The program 'lores'
will read any directional NES controller (Zappers and PowerPads are not
directional) and provide a visual translation of what the byte coming
back from the controller is and what buttons are pressed. The program
'reader' will read a Uforce in "Analog Mode"; make sure that you have
selected mode "F", which is DOWN-DOWN-DOWN-?. The fourth switch controls
the location of sensor 5; read Uforce.c for more details.
