JoyStick

We are having a problem with the joystick update values when ever we move the joystick the values do not update at all. We have followed all the steps on the wpilib websites and still cannot solve the problem. We have one last option we want to try but in the time waiting we want to see if other teams have had our same problems. If you have not experienced this problem can you please tell us what you are doing so we can try to solve our problem.

Can you see them work in the driver's station on the "USB devices" tab?Its the second one from the bottom on the left.

There is another place in the Windows OS where you can see if the joystick is working: Control Panel > View Devices and Printers > Right Click on your controller, select game controller settings, then select
properties again.

If it doesn't work in both those places, then the driver is not installing for it, the joystick is bad, or you have a bad USB port. Try another USB port. If you have it plugged into a hub, try plugging it directly into the computer.

All the joystick values are updating on the DS but the joystick output value are not working in the code. We even added a printf statement to see what the code was outputting. It always stayed with whatever value the joystick has when the roboRio or robot code is reset.

This would be easier to troubleshoot if you posted your code.
