SixA

Now I'm done programing for today - but I it has been fun and I have got very far.

Some of the new features and functions in todays latest SixA 0.1 branch:

• Signal handling - Now the buttons actually does something.
• Completely functional tray icon - Now you are able to close it ;)
• More future features added, but greyed out.
• Added a gamepad image for future use of building a profile.
• Created script for listing connected gamepads - but not implented.
• Easily reset Bluetooth to its original state.
• Support for activating whether the user wants to use a tray icon or not.
• Support for loading needed modules on boot (uses custom bluetooth as start)
• You can now close SixA again.
• A bit less mesy sourcedir.

Also I have updated our Launchpad project page with:

• Overlooked the Blueprints and linked them to proper branch, changed information and such.
• Created a branch for the upcomming 0.2 release.
• Changed the overall information regarding the project.

I have to say much thanks to tadeboro at http://www.gtkforums.com for helping me.

I admit I have been somewhat lazy with the development of SixA - the GUI for the PS3 gamepad. It has been hard to try to learn a new scriptlanguage. Not becuase of its complexity but rather because of my lack of spare time.

But the development is now taking some big (stumbling) steps. The GUI is still in heavy development and I'm still learning to handle signals from the GUI and use them together with some commands and actions. Like adding a new gamepad and tell it what to do.

All the other code is already pretty much done, Thanks to Filipe aka. falkTX. I will just have to implent it to the GUI and the actual SixA.

You can already watch the development, altough it doesnt to anything yet, it's just a GUI. But still you can watch it and perhaps comment with improvements and such.

The code is hosted on Launchpad.

And you can download the latest branch using Bazaar:
$ bzr branch lp:gsixaxis

But you will probably need to install the bzr-package first:
$ sudo apt-get install bzr
