Hi , i attempted to connect the two buttons that i’ve bought in the past following the creator guide , i put the instructions in the arsandbox configuration, these instructions:

(folder: xed ~/.config/Vrui-8.0/Applications/SARndbox.cfg)
section Vrui
section Desktop
# Disable the screen saver:
inhibitScreenSaver true
inputDeviceAdapterNames += (HIDAdapter)
```
    section HIDAdapter
        inputDeviceAdapterType HID
        inputDeviceNames (USBEncoder)
    endsection

    section USBEncoder
        name USBEncoder
        deviceVendorProductId 0079:0006
        trackingDeviceName Mouse
    endsection

    section MouseAdapter
        # Hide the mouse cursor after 5 seconds of inactivity:
        mouseIdleTimeout 5.0
    endsection

    section Window
        # Force the application's window to full-screen mode:
        windowFullscreen true
    endsection

    section Tools
        section DefaultTools
            # Assegna il comando piove/asciuga ai pulsanti "1" e "2":
            section WaterTool
                toolClass GlobalWaterTool
                bindings ((Mouse, 1, 2))
            endsection
        endsection
    endsection
endsection
```
endsection

but the buttons keep not working and in my terminal says this:

InputDeviceManager: Ignoring input device adapter HIDAdapter due to exception Configuration file tag “name” not found in section “/Vrui/Desktop/HIDAdapter/USBEncoder”

Can anyone please help me?

Should section USBEncoder be inside section HIDAdapter?

The example for “Using USB Input Devices Directly From Vrui.cfg” shows the WingmanExtreme3DPro is a child of HIDAdapter, not a sibling.

# Assegna il comando piove/asciuga ai pulsanti “1” e “2”:
section WaterTool
toolClass GlobalWaterTool

endsection
endsection

Thanks Sean for your help, i solved that problem

Did my answer solve the problem? Or did you need to change something else?

I tried to replace mouse with USBEncoder but i don’t know witch number or letter are the button.

You will need to know the keyboard key(s) assigned to the button(s). With the cursor in a text editor, what letter or number appears when you press the USB button(s)? Can you assign a specific key with the button’s software?

If you have two buttons set up with the letters “p” (piove) and “a” (asciuga), I believe you will need to change the line bindings ((Mouse, 1, 2)) to bindings ((USBEncoder, p, a)).

bindings ((Mouse, p, a)) works for me, on a normal USB keyboard, to flood and drain.
