I’m trying to get my little 1/16 car setup to run on a gamepad.
It’s all setup fine with latest beta FW and beta MP, and works with RC.
When I enable the joysick, the sliders move on the joystick page, but nothing happens to the rc outputs.
I can successfully use buttons on the joystick to change modes, and even set channel 8 PWM to 1100 or 1900 with different buttons. However NOTHING works on the channels covered by my receiver - 1-7.
@mroberts,
You might try looking at the RCMAP parameters in the Full Parameter List as they may be different for a gamepad compared to R/C receiver inputs.

One correction - I’m using the latest release version of MP, not the Beta.
@TC, I have all four axes mapped (throttle, elevator, aileron and rudder), so I would have though I should see some movement somewhere, even if my mapping is off.
It also doesn’t respond to a button-based DO_SET_SERVO for CH5, but does for CH8
Also, I’m running a satellite receiver, rather than PPM encoder and have turned off throttle failsafe.
An idea: Just check that you have the upper and lower limits for PWM set for each axis, (the same as “radio calibration” if using a RC Tx), you have to set the PWM values manually as there’s no calibration for a joystick.
RCOVERRIDECH is moving with the joystick, but still no joy on the RC output. It is even locking all the output channels on RCOut to 0 in Manual mode, but 1500 in HOLD.
EDIT: It works for Plane - I uploaded the plane firmware, and the joystick works fine
everything works for me except the ROLL, PITCH, THROTTLE, YAW, and CH7, CH8. In the Joystick setup page its the controls on the top that dont work the buttons that are configured on the bottom work, I can set them and they change modes, arm and disarm the copter.
