Yes. An easy to use user interface for controller configuration is in development and will be included in VideoRay Cockpit in a future release.
Right now, hand controller configuration requires editing an xml file. VideoRay is more than happy to make customer specific hand-controller configuration files for you at no cost. All you need to do is provide a description of the mapping you would like to use. Send an email with your request to support@videoray.com.
If you are interested in creating a configuration file by yourself, here are some guidelines. Hand controller files are stored in the user's application data folder under ...\VideoRay\Controller\. This folder's location depends on whether you are using Windows XP or Windows 7 (Windows Vista is not a recommended operating system for VideoRay Cockpit).
- Windows XP location: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\App Data\VideoRay\
- Windows 7 Location: C:\Users\VideoRay\App Data\Local\VideoRay\
If you are using a different account, change "Administrator" or "Users\VideoRay" to match the account.
These files are typically hidden files.
If you are unsure how to show hidden files, see: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/win_fcab_show_file_extensions.mspx?mfr=true for Windows XP and http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Show-hidden-files for Windows 7.
When VideoRay Cockpit starts, it expects to find either the VideoRay industrial controller, or the Logitech Rumblepad. Controller configuration files for each of these controllers are named default_VideoRay.con and default_Logitech.con respectively. These are no provisions to use any other file names yet, so if you want to customize a controller file, you should copy one of these to a separate file using a .bak extension or something similar and then replace the original with your file. This will allow you to recover the original controller file if required.
VideoRay provides some customized versions of these controller files, which can be found at VideoRay's Download Site.
If you have problems and the configuration file gets messed up beyond repair, backup files can be found in the ...\VideoRay\FactoryDefaults\Controller.
We encourage users to share their configuration files on VideoRay's Discussion Site.
