Were you happy with the performance of the controller and what logictech model did you use?
Are you satisfied with the cRIO so far?
I don't mean to overwhelm you with questions, there is just so much I wanna know about the new system!  |
The code to get the Macanums running is relativity simple and the default and example code isn't bad, so porting that functionality was easy. I spent more time getting WindRiver to communicate with the cRio.
The game controller we used was the cheapest one the local WalMart had as I was going to the meeting. Now that I look it appears to be a
Logitech Dual Action. It was $18 at WalMart.
One of the sticks mapped to X and Y, and i believe the other mapped to Z and twist. I haven't checked how the buttons are mapped.
Overall I'm happy with the new system, but the increased size and weight may be a problem.
