The default dashboard sees the joystick and acknowledges button pushes.

We're stumped. The example is very straight forward and simple - can't understand what's going on.

Has anybody else tried the Joystick Input example and got it to work?

Cheers,

I tried to run the joystick example.vi but couldn't get it to work and gave up.

It worked last year. To me, it doesn't look like it has changed from last years code. Could the way they use RefNum Registry Set VIs this year be something to do with it? Maybe the code has to be modified to use them?

Where in the Dashboard does it acknowledge Joystick buttons? I missed that...
