Testing Joystick

[Shrubadub]

How do you test the joystick in labview without depolying the code to the cRio.

You can run the code from the robot main vi and then probe the teleop vi while its running. But that deploys your code. There is example code to get joystick values but it wont have the names you need.

It's possible to write a LabVIEW program that runs on the PC and reads the joystick. But if all you want to do is make sure a joystick is doing what you want, use the Windows Game Controllers control panel.

Add game controller;
finally, when you are dun, it will allow you to do testing/calibration like thing and you can test controllers that way.
