Joystick Connection Issues

[Jared]

We also experienced a weird issue like this today. In autonomous, our robot worked fine. Once we got to teleop, two of our three joysticks stopped responding, and when I went to the driver station setup tab, the driver station stopped responding, which I've never seen before. The driver station came back after around ten seconds, and I pushed F1, and the joysticks came back.

It's worth noting that this problem only happened to us on the field, and did happen after the laptop was woken from sleep mode, but that we ran about half our matches with the laptop just waking from sleep. The laptop was plugged in, the USB power save mode was off, and the joystick names turned blue when a button was pushed about 20 seconds before the match began.

Another team seemed to experience the same exact issue, where they had communication with the field and were enabled, but their joysticks didn't work for the first 20 seconds. It's probably just a USB driver issue.

F1 is the driver's best friend.
