Joystick application

The built-in Joystick application allows to get parameters from a Joystick.

Services

The Joystick application provides only one publish service:

• joystick: provides the Joystick datas

Note that the connected data indicates if the joystick is connected^[1]

The connection can be checked after the initialization if the recheckConnection property is true

.

Properties

The Joystick application has two optional properties:

• recheckConnection: (default is false) If true, indicates if the module should recheck the existence of a connected Joystick after the start if the joystick is not connected at initialization. In that case, it will check each second until the Joystick is connected
• frequency: (default is 100ms) the frequency of the Joystick polling

Specificities

The Joystick application uses some native libraries for the input. These libraries are distributed in the lib directory. You must add these libraries to the command-line when starting the framework, using the -Djava.library.path property. For example:

      -jar -Djava.library.path=nativelib protoframework.jar
