Hello,
The FT245R chip is a USB/Parallel converter from Future Technology. I have a small board from Elexol that provides 24 digital I/O. I would lilke to use it with PD to build a foot switch controller but unfortunately it doesn't work with ubuntu lucid.

• does someone here succeeded in using the FT245R with ubuntu ?
• is there a pd patch that allows the control of the digital I/O in PD ?
  Thank you !

Here is a example of use of mikewoz stuff.

I'm sorry because it is written in french but there is a picture of my patch with the "wiimote" object.

It seems that the patch for the wiimote object disappeared from the mikewoz web site. However I found that link : http://kishalmi.net/cms/node/40

It works perfectly...
