This should enable the user to scroll the page slowly if the powermate is not pressed down which should duplicate the scrolling of the mouse wheel. Unfortunately in my setup this does not work, nothing happens when I turn the powermate with it not pressed down.
I have hacked the script so that it works using cursor up/down instead of the mouse wheel but I would really like the mouse wheel scrolling to work. Any ideas?
(If it helps I installed Gizmod using the .deb rather than via SVN.)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Then, restart gizmod, scroll the powermate when firefox is focused, and let me know if that produces any results?
If not, run gizmod in debug mode (gizmod -g), focus firefox, rotate the dial, and look at the gizmod output. Is it catching any of the scroll wheel events it's creating?
Thanks,
Tim.

Yes, that makes the mouse move diagonally from top-left to bottom-right (no matter which way I scroll). It doesn't scroll the window at all - just moves the mouse.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I have just noticed that when I use the powermate in Firefox without pressing down it is actually altering the soundcard volume.
I have confirmed this by running with "gizmod -A" and the scrolling works in Firefox as it should.
I would prefer not to have to run "gizmod -A" how can I make Firefox a higher priority than the soundcard so that the powermate scrolls instead of altering the volume? I have the Firefox script 210-Powermate-Firefox.py and I think the volume is controlled in 299-Powermate-Default.py, is this correct? This should mean that Firefox is a higher priority does it not?

Ahhh this was what I needed to see the problem! I had never considered this, but the problem is the "macintosh mouse emulation" device on /dev/input/event0. It's sending the mouse commands to that device rather than your actual mouse.
Try editing scripts/GizmoDeviceStrings.py
Where you see the line:
MOUSE_GIZMOS = ["mouse", "trackball", "touchpad", "logitech usb receiver"]
Change it to:
MOUSE_GIZMOS = ["optical mouse"]
Let me know if that does the trick.
Thanks,
Tim.

Yes! Thank-you so much that seemed to fix it :-) I'm not even entirely sure what the "macintosh mouse emulation" is but your fix works and I am happy!
On a side note, is there a way of specifying two applications in INTERESTED_WINDOWS? I use Swiftfox and Firefox and it would be nice if I could specify something like INTERESTED_WINDOWS = ["firefox|swiftfox"] in my script so I didn't have to have multiple scripts doing exactly the same thing. (Of course I could just use INTERESTED_WINDOWS = ["fox"] but I would prefer to be more verbose if possible.)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Excellent, good deal! In the next version I'll add way to specify negative matches, so you can say match all things that contain "mouse" but not "mouse emulation" or something.
Also, yes you can match multiple windows. Just do the following:
INTERESTED_WINDOWS = ["firefox", "swiftfox"]

I have just installed Gizmod on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn and everything appears to be working great. Thanks for the great software!
Here comes the but... but, I am having trouble with scripts that detect the scrolling of a mouse (for instance in the default Firefox script).
If I push the powermate down and turn the powermate, it scrolls as it should do (in larger jumps) as it simulates the PgUp/PgDn buttons.
The default Firefox script has the line:
Gizmod.Mice[0].createEventRaw(GizmoEventType.EV_REL, GizmoMouseAxis.WHEEL, -Event.Value)
This should enable the user to scroll the page slowly if the powermate is not pressed down which should duplicate the scrolling of the mouse wheel. Unfortunately in my setup this does not work, nothing happens when I turn the powermate with it not pressed down.

Hey there,
Could you try the following:
- launch gizmod in debug mode (ala "gizmod -g")
- scroll with the mouse wheel
Copy and paste the relevant messages regarding the mouse wheel events.
I have a feeling I know what's going on, but once I see the output we should be able to get this sorted out.
Thanks,
Tim.
Hi Tim,
Thanks for the quick response.
Here are the last few lines of the messages when I was scrolling with my mouse wheel up and down.
onEvent: Standard -- /dev/input/event3 | [EV_REL] c: 0x1 Val: 0x1
onEvent: Standard -- /dev/input/event3 | [EV_REL] c: 0x8 Val: -0x1

onEvent: Standard -- /dev/input/event3 | [EV_REL] c: 0x8 Val: -0x1
onEvent: Standard -- /dev/input/event3 | [EV_REL] c: 0x0 Val: 0x1
-0x1 appears to be when I moved the wheel towards me and 0x1 when I moved it away.
If you need any more info please just ask and I will try and get it to you.
In the powermate firefox script, where you see:
# scroll slowly (create a mouse wheel event)
Gizmod.Mice[0].createEventRaw(GizmoEventType.EV_REL, GizmoMouseAxis.WHEEL, -Event.Value)
Can you replace with:
# scroll slowly (create a mouse wheel event)
Gizmod.Mice[0].createEventRaw(GizmoEventType.EV_REL, 0x01, 0x01)
Gizmod.Mice[0].createEventRaw(GizmoEventType.EV_REL, GizmoMouseAxis.WHEEL, -Event.Value)
Gizmod.Mice[0].createEventRaw(GizmoEventType.EV_REL, 0x00, 0x01)
Then, restart gizmod, scroll the powermate when firefox is focused, and let me know if that produces any results?
If not, run gizmod in debug mode (gizmod -g), focus firefox, rotate the dial, and look at the gizmod output. Is it catching any of the scroll wheel events it's creating?
Thanks,
Tim.
Yes, that makes the mouse move diagonally from top-left to bottom-right (no matter which way I scroll). It doesn't scroll the window at all - just moves the mouse.
I have just noticed that when I use the powermate in Firefox without pressing down it is actually altering the soundcard volume.
I have confirmed this by running with "gizmod -A" and the scrolling works in Firefox as it should.
I would prefer not to have to run "gizmod -A" how can I make Firefox a higher priority than the soundcard so that the powermate scrolls instead of altering the volume? I have the Firefox script 210-Powermate-Firefox.py and I think the volume is controlled in 299-Powermate-Default.py, is this correct? This should mean that Firefox is a higher priority does it not?
Yeah this should be the default behavior! Hrmm...
So there's a couple of possibilities as I see it.
First one, is the text "firefox" in the firefox window titles?
Second, do you have multiple powermates?
Third, in the onDeviceEvent function in the powermate firefox script can you replace:
# Only interact with Firefox if it's the first Powermate
if Gizmo.DeviceClassID == 0:
with:
# Only interact with Firefox if it's the first Powermate
print Gizmo.DeviceClassID
if Gizmo.DeviceClassID == 0:
And tell me what the result is?
Thanks,
Tim.
In response to your questions, I only have one powermate and yes firefox is in the title bar. The Gizmo.DeviceClassID is 0.
With regards to the sound going up and down - this has now stopped after I restarted and now nothing happens again when I scroll the powermate.
Here is the script I am using:

Hmm... weird!
When you run "gizmod -g" and rotate the powermate dial when firefox is focused, do you see any mouse events showing up in gizmod's console output?
Here is my output from gizmod -g (my powermate is event5):

Ahhh this was what I needed to see the problem! I had never considered this, but the problem is the "macintosh mouse emulation" device on /dev/input/event0. It's sending the mouse commands to that device rather than your actual mouse.
Try editing scripts/GizmoDeviceStrings.py
Where you see the line:
MOUSE_GIZMOS = ["mouse", "trackball", "touchpad", "logitech usb receiver"]
Change it to:
MOUSE_GIZMOS = ["optical mouse"]
Let me know if that does the trick.
Thanks,
Tim.
Yes! Thank-you so much that seemed to fix it :-) I'm not even entirely sure what the "macintosh mouse emulation" is but your fix works and I am happy!
On a side note, is there a way of specifying two applications in INTERESTED_WINDOWS? I use Swiftfox and Firefox and it would be nice if I could specify something like INTERESTED_WINDOWS = ["firefox|swiftfox"] in my script so I didn't have to have multiple scripts doing exactly the same thing. (Of course I could just use INTERESTED_WINDOWS = ["fox"] but I would prefer to be more verbose if possible.)
Excellent, good deal! In the next version I'll add way to specify negative matches, so you can say match all things that contain "mouse" but not "mouse emulation" or something.
Also, yes you can match multiple windows. Just do the following:
INTERESTED_WINDOWS = ["firefox", "swiftfox"]
