This module works with the Griffin Powermate and allows some basic transport control.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It autodetects the Powermate on any input device of the form "/dev/input/event*". This means you must have the powermate module in your kernel. It works out-of-the-box with 64Studio and presumably lots of other modern distributions.

Turning the wheel left and right will act as a "Shuttle" wheel, adjusting playback speed up and down
|
||
|
|
Pushing the knob will switch between play and stop
|
||
|
|
Pushing the knob while turning will jump to the next or previous markers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order for the powermate to work, you have to have permission to open the input device for reading.

In debian, I changed /etc/udev/rules.d/0_permissions.rules to have the line:
|
||
|
|
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", MODE="0666"
|
||
|
|
but there are other ways to achieve this
|

Feedback, tweaks, bug fixes and feature ideas are encouraged
