How to remap inputs for 3rd party gamepad? about flightgoggles HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @nilay994,

Joypads that are not the Logitech F310 and Xbox One controller are not officially supported. However, I think that you are on the right track. To activate controller control, the "override" button must be held on the controller. This button mapping is defined in the "keys" input mapping in the yaml. If the controller inputs are mapped correctly, you should see activity on the /uav/input/rateThrust channel when the controller override is enabled.

Best,

@nilay994, are you still having this issue?

@Winter-Guerra , No I haven't gotten it to work yet. I don't understand the difference between the fields buttons and keys in the example_input.yaml. I did try to map the override field under keys and buttons of the yaml to the joystick buttons/keys - but without any luck. I see that the /control_nodes/joy is publishing correctly but nothing is published on /uav/input/rateThrust.

Hi @nilay994,

After closer inspection, it looks like you need to change the override parameter in the joy_buttons param and maybe the axis mappings in the joy_axes param. You can find these mappings experimentally by looking at the /control_nodes/joy topic.

keys refers to remaps for the keyboard controller and should not be uncommented. I'm terribly sorry about the naming confusion.

The default values and structure of the joystick params can be found in lines 23-51 of this file. I'd advise only defining values for joy_buttons and joy_axes in your remapping file for simplicity. If any of your axes are flipped, I'd then advise defining axis_scales values to fix the flipped axes.

Best of luck!

hi @Winter-Guerra , thank you for your reply. I still haven't gotten it to work. I tried it with a PS3 controller and FrSky controller. For now, I use the keyboard. I'll close the issue, since I see that others were successful in configuring it. I will comment on the closed issue in case I realize the mistake or in case I still feel stuck.
