controller issues

Post by keeponchoppin »

hello all, new to the board and heli-x. trying to get it set up on debian. have it running on a wheezy machine no problem. this machine is between wheezy and jessie, and i think that may be the issue. but heli-x keeps looking for my joystick at /dev/input/event* and my joystick is located at /dev/input/js0 and i do not know how to fix the java association.

Hello,

there are two issues:

try chmod 777 /dev/input/e*

And then the native jinput library seems to be not compatible with your system.

Try to use the other script (64 bit vs. 32 bit). If you still have the unsatisfied link issue, serach for a native jinput lib for your system.

I was having the same issue, chmod 777 stopped the errors and my gamepad is somewhat working.

However the only axis that seems to respond is x (left anologue stick) but it only reads -1 and +1, the rest of the axis that are detected dont do anything in heli x despite it detecting x y z and zr anologue controls.

Code: Select all

Also is there any way to change how it treats buttons? since a gamepad doesnt have any swtiches, idle up functions mean having to hold the button down.

Nevermind i got it working, had to click sticks and go through the calibaration.

Flying a heli with a USB gamepad is.... interesting. Just as bad as the RC flight sim i have for my android phone that uses a touch pad joystick,

Lack of sensitivity

Will need to get mysef a USB Controller
