Logitech G27 steering wheel use different axe (0 in stead of 2) for steering -> should be configerable (Gamepad API)

[joostaafjes]

I am using a Logitech G27 steering wheel and found out that it using axes 0 for steering in stead of 2 as used currently main.js

It would be nice to make this axes configurable (preferable in config.py/myconfig.py) but than this value should be propagated to the main.js in some way.

Created this little tool to find the HTML5 gamepad key mapping: https://github.com/joostaafjes/html5-gamepad-tester

Interesting. Can you submit a PR? I will look into this.

@joostaafjes we do have a joystick mapper. See Joystick Wizard in docs. It is a general facility for mapping any game controller that mounts on /dev/input/js0. You create a mapping, then use CONTROLLER_TYPE="custom" in you config to use it.

@Ezward,

Executing Joystick Wizard on a Nano 4GB running JP 4.5.1 will cause an unrecoverable core dump due to an illegal instruction.

See issue #807

Also, Joystick Wizard does not create the same hex keycodes as jstest does on a Nano.

I believe @TCIII you have successfully used the Joystick Wizard on the Jetson Nano. I have also. So that is a work-around. Also, we intend to refactor the game controller system in a way that would allow a user to implement support for a new or unique controller simply by mapping the codes that come out of it. #1097

So I am going to close this issue.
