APM not accepting Joystick Configuration

Hi all,I have APM Mission Planner 1.2.3 using MAV 1.0 and am trying to configure the Joystick (Ref 1) to fly a Quad Rotor in 'X' configuration using APM 1.  However, I can't arm the motors -- I hit "Auto Detect" for the Rudder and assign it to one of the axes on my Logitech F310 Gamepad.  The assignment seems to take (the axis shows up in the "Controller Axis" column), yet when I push the joystick along the axis, nothing moves on the "Output" column for the rudder. - This happens for "Rudder"…See More

"Hey Tridge, is someone looking into Xbee failsafe? I briefly looked at 2.6 and was wondering (I have something in 2.5.5 for failsafe, but now porting to MAVLink 1.0). Cause when you are in rc override mode, if the xbee/3dr/etc.. radio fails or loses…"

"Thanks guys.  I'll give it a try so long as no one has a reason to believe it will not work.  I'm an experienced software guy, but am a total novice when it comes to radios."

"Hi Jesse, If you try it, please let us know how it goes. I suspect you may need to play with the radio settings to make it work smoothly. The defaults are meant for reliable long range operation, whereas what you want is low latency. I suspect you…"

"Lots of posts here state the the xbees aren't fast enough for this sort of thing.  The APM sends a lot of telemetry data, which can cause lag.  Some people were using 2 xbees IIRC. The 3DR radio is much faster, so I would think it…"

3DR Radios with Joystick Flight

Hi all,I'm trying to decide on radio controls, yet got distracted by what I found here.  This flight method is by far my most preferred:http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/JoystickThe manual mentions an Xbee for this mode, but will the 3DRs work with the APM in this manner as well?  I have  APM 1 using Arducopter.  All of my flights will be close range.Thanks, JesseSee More
