Joysticks

[cvessalico]

Thanks for the input everyone. Although we are not using a usb hub, I do think it is a power issue with the laptop . We will make sure to keep the battery fully charged at all times and hopefully this will solve the problem. If someone knows a specific setting we could change like a power setting in windows or something that would guarantee we don't lose the joysticks that would be awesome. We are using a sony viao laptop, programming with labview, using a Logitech gamepad and an Xbox gamepad.

One Windows setting you can change would be the power options:

Go to the battery icon (next to the time), click it, and press "More Power Options"

You can either use high performance mode, or create a custom power plan, and specify to never disable power to the USB ports, among other settings.

As stated above, that is normal.

Have you actually tried testing them with the robot enabled?

My guess is you'll be happily surprised with the results.

You have not described any unexpected/unwanted behavior so far.

Still good news. This is the correct behavior.

You have a number of very knowledgeable people on this thread who are willing to help, but you will have to describe the issue better if you are having one.
