Using the AutoDetectUtility class

The Haply.HardwareAPI.Unity namespace contains the AutoDetectUtility class. This class is used internally to populate the device dropdowns in the Haptic Thread and Handle Thread inspectors.

It can also be used directly to detect connected hardware for use in your UI or other app logic.

Example

using UnityEngine;
using Haply.HardwareAPI.Unity;

public class AutoDetectExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void Awake ()
    {
        // Register callbacks for device detection events

        AutoDetectUtility.OnDetectInverse3 += e => Debug.Log($"Inverse3: {e.id:X4} {e.handedness} ({e.name})");
        AutoDetectUtility.OnDetectHandle += e => Debug.Log($"Handle: {e.id:X4}");
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        // Device detection events originate outside of
        // the main Unity thread, so we need to call Poll,
        // which safely empties the concurrent event queue

        AutoDetectUtility.Poll();
    }
}

Troubleshooting

Please note that AutoDetectUtility will fail to detect any device already bound to a Haptic Thread or Handle Thread in the loaded scene.
