Re: Sasquatch Robot Controller powered by Arduino

Quote:
It seems as though in RobotOpenDS the joysticks are always in a different configuration. In our programming, we have the first 2 joysticks set up as drive sticks on a tank drive. The 3rd item is a Logitech gamepad for the operator to control a shooter (game is 2012 rebound rumble frc). For some reason the gamepads/sticks all show up in a different way every time we start RobotopenDS. The first 2 joysticks usually initialize properly in slots 1+2 however an "unknown gamepad" usually shows up in the third slot, and after that the Logitech gamepad shows up in slot 4.

Sometimes "Unknown Gamepad" is first and the other 3 follow, and sometimes the Logitech Gamepad comes up first of the 3 and joysticks follow.

My question is - is it possible to rearrange the sticks somehow, similar to like in the 2014 FRC Driver Station. At this time we reprogram the Arduino code to the stick config every time this occurs which is a large time consumer.

Also, "Unknown Gamepad" is defined as vendor id=04f3 product=0060, which I searched to find that it is showing an Elan product. This is likely either my laptop's touchscreen or touchpad.

Is there a way to remove this or hide it from the driverstation? I have tried uninstalling the device from device manager but it still has yet to work.
Hopefully we can solve these issues...

Since this an old thread I suggest we take it offline.

Please email me your contact info and we can start a dialogue. My email is below.
