FRCSim and Gamepads

[feverittm]

FRC Community,

I have (finally) been able to work with my team and fool around with frcsim.

We have loaded a spare machine with Ubuntu 14.04LTS and then ran the install script to load frcsim.

Everything seems to install correctly and we can build the model for GearsBot.

However, when we try to run the simulator in Teleop mode the robot takes off to the left in a wide circle (like the right motor is running forward) without any control input. I have tried to plug in a PS3 controller via USB and the dashboard recognizes it. However, no buttons/sticks are working.

Is there something I need to do to enable the joystick? Are there any other checks we can do to verify everything is installed correctly?

BTW The Autonomous mode seems to be working correctly.

Thanks
