Configuration is where we take the Inputs and Outputs and connect or bind them together. A collection of input/output connections is called a Profile Mode. A configuration file can contain several profile modes and the user can chose which one is active at any time. The default method by which profile modes are changed is by sipping and puffing on the Right side tube, but other inputs can also be used to select the active mode.
The default configuration for the QuadStick has profile modes for the Left & Right Joysticks, D-Pad and Mouse. Each of these profile modes is presented below.
The user can maintain a library of configuration files customized for individual games or tasks and load them into the QuadStick when desired by copying the associated “CSV” file into the QuadStick's Flash drive, then using the side tube or voice command, activate a specific configuration file.
Configuration files are selected by the user by starting with a long hard sip on the side tube which invokes the file selection mode, followed by movement of the joystick. When the LED that corresponds to the desired file is illuminated, the Lip button is pressed, the file will activate and control the operation of the Quadstick. The Quadstick Manager Program can print a list of files contained in the Quadstick’s flash, along with the LED patterns that identify the selected file.
