Re: Unclaassified: Information about the 2010 control system
 

The unbundled variables are:
Axis 1 - Left/Right on main stick
Axis 2 - Forward/Back on main stick
Axis 3 - Twist motion on main stick
Axis 4 - Trim pot on base
Axis 5 - Left/Right on thumb joystick on top of main stick (only has 3 values center/full left/full right
Axis 6 - Forward/Back on thumb joystick on top of main stick (only has 3 values center/full forward/full back)

The unbundled switches basically match the numbering of the switches on the unit.

Re: Unclaassified: Information about the 2010 control system
 

I can confirm that the Saitek AV8R joystick works with last year's driver station. We're using WindRiver, but there are four axes:
X - X axis on Joystick
Y- Y axis on Joystick
Z- Throttle on front
Twist - Joystick rotation

It was mentioned that the new driver station software is only 90 MB. Can we download this if we're not part of the beta program?

No, right now it's still just for Beta teams. At the rate it's changing, it's out of date every couple days anyway, and if it was available to everyone there would already be 3 versions, and many many confused people :yikes:

Thanks to those that responded. This opens up many control strategies.

Thank you for all of the information about the 2010 control system!

Does any one know when it will be distributed to teams which our not part of the beta?

Any information would be appreciated, also when was the control system distributed last year?

Re: Unclaassified: Information about the 2010 control system
 

There is nothing saying that we will get the control system early this year. Technically, we have had some parts since January or earlier.
