I use a Contour ShuttlePro

machine, for video editing, and wondered if anyone has got one to
work on any Linux installs to control JMRI? I've read other forums
where people have suggested using this device, though the company
don't support Linux. I've tried getting it to work in Ubuntu and
Raspbian.
According to the internet, Linux will create an entry under
/dev/input for the ShuttlePro, and you can test it with evtest.
After you have that working, it looks like the Jynstrument
USBThrottle.jyn can be adapted for most input devices.
The relevant JMRI help pages are:
JMRI: USB Input Control
<>
Custom Throttle with Jynstruments section of Advanced Throttle Control
<>
JMRI: Jynstruments <>
My experience with this is limited to plugging in a USB joystick and
watching JMRI's USB input control respond to button presses.
