Re: [Plib-users] win32 joystick ?

[josh e. <jje...@st...>]

hi,
i'm using a USB Gravis Eliminator AfterShock. of course i tested the 
controllers configuration with its calibration software; all buttons and 
axes reported OK when testing with its calibration software. so the 
controller is good.

axes[4] reports the min value and never changes. i commented out one of the 
other axis assignment in rawRead(), and it reproduced the error for that 
particular axis. so my conclusion is that somehow the axes[4] is not 
getting data from the controller. how/why this is happening, i couldn't 
figure it out?

with jstest, i switched one of the control pads, that worked on axes[1] and 
axes[2], to axes[4] and axes[5]... same results--axes[4] didn't report its 
values. so, i'm convinced its not my controller.
