I have a standard thurstmaster joystick.

Followed the guide https://librepilot.atlassian.net/wiki/display/LPDOC/Control+vehicle+using+joystick

Does not work.

Librepilot does not seem to receive any inputs from the Joystick.

If i use another app to configure the joystick and map it to keys, it can clearly see and identify the joystick, so I dont think there is anything wrong at driver lever with the joystick.

Librepilot however does not allow me to select a joystick anywhere (An actual device).

Please assist.

I use the Thurstmaster described in wiki page without issues.
Only need to connect before starting Gcs and no need to select the device.

Maybe you need to remove access from the other app.

I have the Thrustmaster with the added throttle and it works fine too.

When you go into tools->options->controller and move the joystick none of the bars move?  Or does that work but you can't get it to control gcs?

It does not move. Stuck there.

How do I remove from other application? I simply closed it. (ControlMate)

I must add that I install ControlMate in order to test if joystick was working as I tried with GCS before that and it did not work.

Forgot to mention that OS is MACOX.

Current joystick implementation uses SDL 1.2

Try installing using brew or download from here: https://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php

I do have SDL installed as I set up the build enviroment.

http://www.thrustmaster.com/products/usb-joystick is the joystick.


Just tried on windows with Fusion. Same thing, no luck.

Screenshot of the system pref window.

Please not Joystick show in it wether its connected or not.

I did install some driver for it which I trust is why those options are there but not loaded. Pehaps wrong driver however I see that Other programs can pickup and use it with no trouble.

Maybe your Joystick is not supported by SDL 1.2

There is a JIRA ticket for SDL update:
https://librepilot.atlassian.net/browse/LP-202

[brukutu]

Is it possible to get it to work in windows?

Or not map a sdl1.2 emulated joystick which responds to key combination? That way I could map real Joystick to key com into the compatible virtual joystick which GCS would then talk to?

My joystick works perfectly under Linux and also my WinXP virtual box.

My joystick works perfectly under Linux and also my WinXP virtual box.

I was trying it on a VM with Windows 7 under VMWare FUsion.

Is that maybe the cause?

[jlrommel]

I have the same problem with the same joystick (Thrustmaster usb joystick).
Did you find a solution ?

[f5soh]

You should connect the Joystick before starting the GCS.
