Re: [Emc-users] Joypad as a pendant - help?
Oops, that makes more sense. So it's more like an ADC interface. I guess I need to actually install one sometime. Well, there are 2 ways of interfacing the joystick. The older one, (which I don't think is that good) is taking the output from the joystick, using a stepgen to generate quadrature, and feeding that to the MPG input to the appropriate axis. The newer one, ( which I think is cleaner, better) is taking the value from the joystick and driving halui velocity jogging with it. Both are in the wiki. For the first one your suggestion actually makes sense, and probably fixes things.

Loading by the /dev/input/js0 seems to work though.. One thing I noticed in your /proc/bus/input/devices file, the number on the S: Sysfs ... line is different from the number on the H: Handlers= line. Your Sysfs node is input5, but the Handlers line shows event4. On my system, the two numbers match, and the driver loads just fine. (I didn't use c216, I only tried Dual and Action) I don't know how to get the numbers to be the same, or if that's the problem, but it did seem interesting. - Steve -- Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.

My inbox sorts by date, so it was at the beginning of my +1k message inbox. I think your computer timestamps your message, so having the correct date may be better. I have ntpdate running on my computers to avoid that issue. Of course ideally, I should not have any stale messages in my inbox.
