I guess "hats" are what I would have called "joysticks and dpads".

The HAT switch reports its position like a clock.

### Hat 1: guitar analog controls
|
||||
|
||||
The X axis is the position of the wammy bar.
|

|

The Y axis is the pickup selector.
|

I believe this was a 5-position switch on some guitars.

Only Rock Band 1 seems to use this.

Sent by the dpad on the controller,

as `hatAndConstant`.

Guitars send up/down for the up/down strum buttons.
|

Drums send up/down on the blue/yellow cymbal pads.

Product ID (PID)
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Nicholas,
|
||||
who did the initial work on the guitar,
|
||||
suggested that PID 0x0005 would get the sketch working as drums.
|
||||
And that was correct:
|
||||
this works great on
|
||||
Wii Rock Band 1 and
|
||||
Wii LEGO Rock Band.
|
||||
The following USB PIDs are recognized by various things:
|
||||
|
||||
But it fails in frustrating ways on
|
||||
Wii Rock Band 3:
|
||||
the yellow and blue pads don't navigate menus,
|
||||
and cymbals aren't detected.
|
||||
* 0x0003: XBox Drum
|
||||
* 0x0004: Wii Guitar
|
||||
* 0x0005: Wii Drums - Rock Band 1
|
||||
* 0x3110: Wii Drums - Rock Band 2
|
||||
|
||||
The fix was setting the USB PID to 0x3110.
|
||||
There are some quirks to note:
|
||||
|
||||
* Rock Band 3 won't recognize cymbal hits on PID=0x0005,
|
||||
but the same program with PID=0x3110 works fine.
|
||||
* Wii games don't appear to recognized PID=0x0003.
|
||||
Maybe Rock Band 3 does: I didn't test that one.

Clone Hero
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
This controller doesn't have a dpad (currently),
|
||||
so we're using 12 buttons to represent the state of 9 inputs.
|
||||
Sometimes software is just weird!
|
||||
Clone Hero wants Hat 2 up on yellow cymbal hit,
|
||||
and Hat 2 down on blue cymbal hit.
|
||||
|
||||
Clone Hero has two undocumented CymExt1 and CymExt2 mappings.
|
||||
It talks about what they should be set to (on Windows) in the wiki,
|
||||
but doesn't explain what they're used for.
|
||||
|
||||
It seems that Clone Hero expects the Yellow and Blue cymbals
|
||||
to send dpad inputs, in addition to the pad color and cymbal modifier.
|
||||
If the controller doesn't send these,
|
||||
then every drum pad hit plays that color's drum and cymbal at the same time,
|
||||
and every cymbal pad hit does the same thing.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm not exactly sure why Clone Hero does this,
|
||||
but in any case,
|
||||
Mockband sends the right things now,
|
||||
so the drum controller should work correctly after you map everything.
|
||||
If it doesn't see these while mapping drum pads,
|
||||
then hitting any color bad will trigger both drum and cymbal for that color.
