The program must be finding a joystick or gamepad attached. I can add a way to disable it in the future. For now you can go to control panel (if on Windows) and see what it thinks is a joystick. If you can unplug it. Otherwise I guess trey to disable it? I'm not sure.

Had the pleasure of inspecting this team swerve drive IRL yesterday, it is a beauty!

No gamepad or joystick attached. Tried disabling other devices too. Still no luck...

This is awsome. Really helpful to get the basic feel of a swerve. The only problem I was having was getting a ball in the corner since I would just keep going instead of ramming against the side.

Try pushing space, it worked for me.

And it still says "Press A to start"? What devices do you get when you go to control panel, then devices and printers?

The new version works great, thanks.

Could you include the Linux and Mac binaries for Jinput also to make it easier for people?

Also, it seems like you set up the axes to only work with an xbox controller, not the Logitech gamepad. You should use the axis identification features of Jinput to get the correct axes on any controller:

controller.getComponent(Component.Identifier.Axis.X);

Thanks, I actually have been looking around for something like this

Very cool though.

I have been playing this with my keyboard and an xbox controller, and i noticed when I use the controller, there is a noticeable drift on the rotation, but none on the keyboard. Has anyone else noticed this? Is it the controller?

I remember looking at this robot. It is so cool. This was one of my favorite drive systems at championships.

This would be because the joystick is not centered.

Thank you for this information. The identification feature will be in my next release. I will try to work on the binaries when I have time.
