joystick controls are not correctly mapped #70

Closed randaz81 closed 7 years ago

randaz81 commented 7 years ago

In order to disable the joystick hats, and interpret the values as joystick axis, the following environment variables need to be included in the robot .bashrc file

export SDL_LINUX_JOYSTICK="'Xbox Gamepad (userspace driver)' 8 0 0" export SDL_LINUX_JOYSTICK="/dev/input/js0"

@mbrunettini please take note of these variables for future R1 releases.

PS: I also removed some annoying warning by placing the following line in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

blacklist xpad

The xboxdrv driver is launched during system boot by the line:

xboxdrv --silent

which is placed in /etc/rc.local (it needs launched as root)
