Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Problem using USB joystick+telemetry link as RC replacement

[Gautier Hattenberger]

Hi,

The program main_stick in sw/ground_segment/joystick is not designed for 
the fixed wing airframes. I'm using it for booz airframes right now. But 
it is possible to adapt it to airplanes. The library usb_stick.h in 
sw/ground_segment/joystick is derived from Martin's work. He has already 
used joystick with a workaround in the flight plan and the file 
joystick.c you've compiled (that's why it is supposed to work only in 
auto2). Maybe he can explain how to use it.
