will not show as controller

[jwesthoff04]

will compile but wont show up as a controller. if i use the ArduinoJoystick library without the FFB it shows as controller. also force tester wont recognize it as a controller unless i use the library without FFB it shows but since no FFB it cant test anything. please help. im trying to use with Assetto corsa.

This is the code for no ffb if i use your library it dose not work if i use the other it dose.

include

// set joystick to library // always start id at 0x03 also defalt // 0x01,and 0x02 are used for internal mouse and keyboard lybrary Joystick_ Joystick(0x03, JOYSTICK_TYPE_MULTI_AXIS, 8, 0, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, true, true, true, true);

const int steeringpot = A0; const int throttlepot = A1; const int brakepot = A2; const int clutchpot = A3;

//arrys for buttons and sets state to zero const int button[8] = { 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}; int lastButtonState[8] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};

void setup() { //Serial.begin(9600); // sets joystick Joystick.begin();

// sets pins to input for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) { pinMode(button[i], INPUT_PULLUP); }

}

void loop() {

// reads pots and sends data to control steering, throttle, brake, and clutch // delay to read pots float steering = analogRead(steeringpot); Joystick.setSteering(steering); delay(1);

float throttle = analogRead(throttlepot); throttle = map(throttle, 391.00, 750.00, 0.00, 1023.00); Joystick.setThrottle(throttle); delay(1);

float brake = analogRead(brakepot); Joystick.setBrake(brake); delay(1);

float clutch = analogRead(clutchpot); Joystick.setAccelerator(clutch);

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) { // Read pin values and replaces lastButtonState with new state int currentButtonState = !digitalRead(button[i]); if (currentButtonState != lastButtonState[i]) { Joystick.setButton(i, currentButtonState); lastButtonState[i] = currentButtonState; }

} //Serial.println(throttle); }

This is the code for ffb and it compiles and shows as a controller in my devices but will not work on anything. please help!!!

Hi, you can try this constructed function.Maybe there are some conflictions between accelerator, brake, steering and FFB.

Joystick_ Joystick(JOYSTICK_DEFAULT_REPORT_ID,JOYSTICK_TYPE_JOYSTICK,
  8, 0,                  // Button Count, Hat Switch Count
  true, true, true,     // X and Y, but no Z Axis
  false, false, false,   // No Rx, Ry, or Rz
  false, false,          // No rudder or throttle
  false, false, false);  // No accelerator, brake, or steering

P.S. When you use FFB library,remember that set X-axis and Y-axis ture in Joystick_ constructed function.

[YukMingLaw]

And...I found that you use two encoders.Can you explane their's usage?

[jwesthoff04]

no only need one for steering and i tried setting as you said and still not working.

[YukMingLaw]

Do you set X-axis as the steering in AC? My setting: X-axis-->steering Y-axis-->break Z-axis-->accelerator

[jwesthoff04]

got it working you can not use anything but x,y, or z. thank you so much!!!!!!

[freppac]

I have the same issue...running the singlejoystickffb example unchanged on a arduino micro. It does not show up as a game controller in w10. Do I need a driver installed?

[aeroelectrolight]

I have the same issue too .... But if i test it with fedit, he recognizes it as a force feedback device and same with wheelcheck ! I dont understand. Can you help us please ?

[freppac]

Actually I gor it working....do not use JOYSTICK_TYPE_MULTI_AXIS in the instantiation...I used JOYSTICK_TYPE_JOYSTICK and it worked!

[aeroelectrolight]

Thank you very much, it work for me to !

[positron96]

Can the example be changed then? examples/SingleJoystickFFB/SingleJoystickFFB.ino has erroneous JOYSTICK_TYPE_MULTI_AXIS which is not recognized correctly by Windows.
