We have several shared laptops for our programmers and each programmer has their own local windows account on one of the computers. This helps prevent people from modifying other’s code, making administrative changes… However today we noticed a weird issue where joysticks never showed as connected in driver station for user A but showed as connected for user B. We thought it was because one user was an administrator and the other wasn’t, but actually neither is an administrator AND the actual administrator account we have didn’t show any joysticks in DS either. Has anyone seen this before or any ideas?
Do the accounts that don’t work by any chance have 6 locked joysticks? FRC Driver Station Powered by NI LabVIEW — FIRST Robotics Competition documentation
Do the joysticks show up in the Windows Game Controllers?
I don’t think anything was locked and even if it was, idk what the windows account used would matter. I’ll have to check after the team returns from Thanksgiving break. As for the windows, they did all show up in device manager as Xbox controllers regardless of account which is why it’s weird.
