Re: Comments/Complaints on NI control system

My primary concern with the current system is the long reboot time for the DS...
When this happens, do the joystick LEDs and list respond to the gamepads? Pressing any button on the gamepad should turn the LEDs blue.

As mentioned, F1 was added in an update to reenumerate the joysticks for teams that find they need to swap or plug in a joystick after the auto period. That will close all handles to joysticks, redo the enumeration, and reopen according to the list. Even if this fixes the issue, if at all possible, please help document how it gets in that state.

If anyone else finds a way to provoke joystick loss, please post steps. Everyone wants a robust DS.
