APM joystick problems

Posted by rocketgeek on February 11, 2012 at 5:12pm

I'm trying to use a Logitech Dual Action USB Gamepad to control my ArduCopter over telemetry. When I start APM 1.1.35 with no connection to the ArduCopter, the joystick screen shows correct operation. When I connect to the copter over either USB or TCP, the joystick screen suddenly starts displaying incorrect values for all of the joystick params. This persists after re-loading the ArduCopter firmware. Clearly I have screwy settings embedded somewhere, but I can't figure out where. Help?

    @rocketgeek, after checking Amazon for reviews of the Logitech gamepad, I saw this review which may explain some behavior. (other than that, I am just beginning to explore using a joystick, so I can't answer technical questions on this topic.)
