Re: New Ctrl Sys Early Ship - Benchtop Test

It just means all the parts from the DS to the motor are working together.

In OTB Teleop we only saw Joystick on USB 1 arcade action (w/button pressed) on pwms 1-4, neutral on pwms 5-10, no other button effects noted.

No response to a usb 2 joystick.

The jumpers in the prescribed positions did not affect results, but we didn't try all the other possible jumper positions.

If you add an Allen Bradley light to the hardware setup it won't come on either (but it works with the non-OTB default software update).

P.S.
Send my regards to Nataloia

I talked with a FIRST Staff Engineer today about this problem, she said that she just found out today that the joystick adjustment knob (the control switch that looks like last year joystick calibrator) also dictates if a joystick is to be used for arcade or tank drive. I have been at a conference and I am unable to test this information. Try to adjust the this and see if it works.
