Joystick Stopped Working

Solved!
Go to solution

I was able to get readings from my joystick earlier today but all of a sudden it has stopped working. There is nothing wrong with the joystick (tested it from the control panel).

 

When I query the joystick and create an indicator, I see that there are two 'joysticks' on my computer. It looks like labview is recognizing the 'other' joystick, which isn't actually a joystick. Is there a way to specify which joystick I want to use (Logitech Attack 3)?

 

Attached is a screenshot of my interface.

 

Thanks!

Fix:

 

On the initialize joystick block, create a constant for the device index specifiying which 'joystick' you want to use.
