Joystick Input
in [Matlab]

From: Bill on 26 Sep 2009 23:28 I currently have a Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 and am trying to use it in a GUI. For whatever reason, I'm unable to detect the joystick. Does anyone know of any issues with this joystick and the vrjoystick or analoginput('joy') function, as neither appears to be working properly?

From: Jan Houska on 28 Sep 2009 14:45 Hi, do you have the joystick correctly installed in your operating system? Are you able to use it from the OS or from other applications?

From: Sherryl Radbil on 29 Sep 2009 08:50 Hi Bill, The joystick is not supported by Data Acquisition Toolbox out of the box, but many people have had success. See this article http://www.mathworks.com/company/newsletters/digest/june01/joystick.html You can find the code here: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/798 You may have to make some tweaks, but this will get you started. Also, googling matlab joystick or sidewinder may lead you to additional alternatives. All the best, Sherryl

Sherryl, Thank you so much for your help. As it turns out, I already stumbled across that package and downloaded it, but still to no avail. When I type in daqregister('joy'), I get 'Register function failed.' Any other ideas, or do I need to just get a new joystick? |
