ControllerManipulate[expr,{u,umin,umax}]
generates a version of expr set up to allow interactive manipulation of the value of u using an external controller device.
ControllerManipulate[expr,{u,umin,umax,du}]
allows the value of u to vary between umin and umax in steps du.
ControllerManipulate[expr,{{u,uinit},umin,umax,…}]
takes the initial value of u to be uinit.
ControllerManipulate[expr,{u,{u1,u2,…}}]
allows u to take on discrete values u1, u2, ….
ControllerManipulate[expr,{u,…},{v,…},…]
allows each of the u, v, … to be manipulated by the external controller device.
ControllerManipulate[expr,"cu"{u,…},"cv"{v,…},…]
links the parameters to the specified controllers on the external controller device.

Details and Options

- ControllerManipulate has the same features and options as Manipulate, but by default does not explicitly display any controls or frame.
- With the default setting ControllerMethod->Automatic, successive parameters will be controlled by successive controls on the external controller device.
