Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Possible FTDI Fixes (Felix)

[Felix Ruess]

Hi Stephen,

I just commited some fixes for the joystick. You don't need
sw/ground_segment/joystick.
Your joystick should automatically be mapped to /dev/input/js0
Although which axes are mapped to which input channel is still
hardcoded. So you could have inverted axes or different assignments.
It works for me.

But just as a disclaimer: The sim is not meant to be used as a flight
trainer or anything like that. Joystick for the sim is not really of
any practical use.

Cheers, Felix
