controller :|

Post by foxmaster »

Hello friends!
Iam new to this rc hobby but i got me a walkera 36 and thought i train in a sim and I found heli-x. Now for the problem,
The program starts but no reaction when I calibrate the controller. I've read the posts on the forum and the problem is most likly the permissions on the /dev/input, if I chmod them they becom writable but after a while the old mods are back ????

drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 400 2009-04-03 17:38 .
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 14080 2009-04-03 17:38 ..

crwxrwxrwx 1 root plugdev 13, 0 2009-04-03 17:38 js0

and after I started the heli-x app

drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 400 2009-04-03 18:39 .
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 14080 2009-04-03 18:39 ..

crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13, 64 2009-04-03 17:38 event0
crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13, 65 2009-04-03 17:38 event1
crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13, 74 2009-04-03 17:38 event10
crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13, 66 2009-04-03 17:38 event2
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 67 2009-04-03 18:39 event3
crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13, 68 2009-04-03 17:38 event4

crw-rw-rwx 1 root plugdev 13, 0 2009-04-03 18:39 js0

and the log says

Hi foxmaster,

I guess, you use version 0.9 of HELI-X. Do you get the same behavior wirh version 1.1?

What Linux systen do you have?
Did you give HELI-X a try as root?

What a great simulator I love it.
I got all problems fixed now. I went to a rc store and bought me a dummy usb transmitter, works great now
