I want to write a script that will read a joystick's hat switch and generate a pwm signal on the aux ports of the apm 2.5.  My question is how can I interface with a joystick using the python scripting feature?  Is the pygame library supported?

    The current version of MP should support assigning the hatswitch/axis to a gimbal output channel.

  • I'm wondering if the pygame library is supported as well, I just can't seem to get mission planner to import pygame properly though. I keep receiving the error "Error running script cannot import base from pygame"

  • This is exactly what I am after as well but on the Pixhawk. Hopefully someone has the answer.
