Joystick Gimbal Control

I'm having some trouble- perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

I'm trying to control a camera gimbal I made with RC channels 6 and 7 out, using a USB joystick.  I'm having some trouble with the joystick configuration. I got one axis to work by mapping the joystick X axis to channel 6, then changing RC_6_Function to 1.  That servo moves fine.  After that, the software won't let me map any more joystick axes, on any channel.

  • Hello everyone ... Has anyone made any headway on this  - using the game pad to control aux outputs? I seem to have the same issue ... calibration works fine until connection to the board as mentioned above... then nothing happens and the inputs from the game pad seem to not be recognised.

  • I'm interested in doing this myself but I'm aways off on even attempting.  I'll follow this thread, good luck guys.

    make sure you calibrate the joystick in windows first.
