Hi,

Leeds robot seems to be working finally, I did the whole setup from the beginning and now am facing this issue !

I get the following error when I start the joystick
ERROR: cannot launch node of type [joy/joy_node]: joy

any advice !

Is that all the output? I did have some problems with the joystick device not being readable (fix: sudo chmod a+r /dev/input/js1) and also the joystick device switching between js0 and js1, but both give different error output.

I tried it and it didn't work, still same error.

I think you need to install joy. Follow 1.1 here:

http://wiki.ros.org/joy/Tutorials/ConfiguringALinuxJoystick

Then, follow 1.2 to find where the joystick device is (typically /dev/input/js0 or /dev/input/js1), and run

$  roslaunch scitos_teleop teleop_joystick.launch js:=/dev/input/jsX

where X is where you found the joystick

RaresAmbrus commented

You can use the following on the command line to check whether your joystick is working (where X is the device number, probably 0 or 1):

jstest /dev/ttyUSBX

I get the following after the test

but when I test with js0 it works

jstest --normal /dev/input/js0

it updates the inputs when I press any button.

Sorry, it was /dev/input/js0, not /dev/ttyUSB0. It seems like your joystick is working fine, there's no reason why the ros node wouldn't work; have you followed the tutorial from Bruno's link?

OMARI1988 commented

can you send me the link please ?

This thing fixed the X mode but I have to keep this command running

sudo xboxdrv --silent

I tried the permanent solution suggested and it gives no such path or
directory ! any ideas

LUCIE is moving around using this command to set the driver for the
joystick (its working and if I find a better solution I will add it)

sudo xboxdrv --silent

And the previous error was there because ROS joy was not installed.

I will close this.
