Hi all!!
I am trying to make a joystick work with VMD on Linux...
So far I am sure that the joystick is working and made a test with "jstest",
the device is recognized:
jstest /dev/input/js0
Joystick (Saitek ST200 Stick) has 3 axes and 4 buttons. Driver version is 2.1.0.
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)
Axes: 0:-32767 1:-32767 2: -7770 Buttons: 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off
I understand that I nned to use VRPN, so after a loooong struggle with vrpn I
was able to compile it. So I have the vrpn_server running:
vrpn_server -millisleep 1 -f vrpn.cfg
the vrpn.cfg was configured so that:
vrpn_Joylin Joylin0 /dev/input/js0
and the .vmdsensors:
device vrpntracker vrpntracker://local//dev/input/js0
So, I run vmd and try to enable the tool, but I got the following message:
vmd > vrpn_connect_udp_port: error finding host by name (local).
vrpn_udp_request_lob_packet: send() failed: Bad file descriptor
vrpn_Connection: Can't lob UDP request
Warning) Tool: lost connection to tracker vrpntracker
Any ideas on what I am missing/doing wrong here???
I revised the vmd-l and found a couple of similar questions in the past,
sadly, none of them had a reply. :(
As usual, tahnks for your support,
Ludwig
