JOYSTICK_TYPE_GAMEPAD Crashes DCS (Digital Combat Simulator)

[omarachrafbrasil]

The sketch below works in windows joystick usb configuration. However when I start DCS (Digital Combat Simulator) DCS crashes.

/*
switch in pin 2
potentiometers in A0, A1 and A2
Arduino pro micro
*/

#include "Joystick.h"

Joystick_ Joystick(
JOYSTICK_DEFAULT_REPORT_ID, // hidReportId
JOYSTICK_TYPE_GAMEPAD, // joystickType
1, // buttonCount
0, // hatSwitchCount
true, // includeXAxis
true, // includeYAxis
true, // includeZAxis
false,// includeRxAxis
false,// includeRyAxis
false,// includeRzAxis
false,// includeRudder
false,// includeThrottle
false,// includeAccelerator
false,// includeBrake
false // includeSteerings
);

const int pinButton = 2;

int sx, sy, sz; // sensor values
int x, y, z; // values to Joy X, Y, Z

void setup() {
pinMode(pinButton, INPUT_PULLUP);

Joystick.setXAxisRange(-1023, 1023);
Joystick.setYAxisRange(-1023, 1023);
Joystick.setZAxisRange(-127, 127);

Joystick.begin(false);
}

void loop() {
if (digitalRead(pinButton)) {
Joystick.pressButton(0); // 0..31
} else {
Joystick.releaseButton(0);
}

sx = analogRead(A0);
sy = analogRead(A1);
sz = analogRead(A2);

x = map(sx, 0, 1023, -1023, 1023);
y = map(sy, 0, 1023, -1023, 1023);
z = map(sz, 0, 1023, -127, 127);

Joystick.setXAxis(x);
Joystick.setYAxis(y);
Joystick.setZAxis(z);

Joystick.sendState();

delay(20);
}

Hi,I compiled your code and uploaded it to my arduino pro micro.It works nice.I cant recurrent the problem what you said.Maybe change another chip and try again?

Hi, had you tried running DCS after your pro micro is plugged?
It worked for me too. Even it is possoble to perform the Settings in the Windows Game Controllers Windows.
The problem happens when the DCS (Digital combat simulator) is executed. DCS crashes with pro micro running this sketch/in my board.
If there my pro micro with is not plugged and DCS is executed, DCS dont crash.

You can delete delay(20); and try again.Or use more less delay like delay(1);.

Hi, I commented out delay(20) and tried again. Then run DCS. Still crashed. In a DCS forum of 2 years ago someone commented regarding FFD on gamepads. This promote some Idea about the problem? Omar Achraf Em ter., 19 de mai. de 2020 às 14:52, York Law <notifications@github.com> escreveu:

Hi, just another feedback. I tested with the library that doesnt have FFB ( https://github.com/MHeironimus/ArduinoJoystickLibrary ) and it worked ok with DCS. Could be related to FFB? Omar Achraf Em ter., 19 de mai. de 2020 às 17:54, Omar Achraf <omarachraf@gmail.com> escreveu:

got it,I will test the library in DCS soon:)

[YukMingLaw]

Hi,I have recurrented this problem yet.You must add Joystick.getForce(forces); to your code.
Because the force feddback part is appended to the HID descriptor,so when the game start,it will ask for the force feedback reply from device.

I updated the library.It changed a lot.You should download the latest version of library to make your program.

Hi, Updated! and recompiled and upload to my pro micro (without Joystick.getForce(forces); ) It executed DCS simulator withou crash. But, when I exit DCS, DCS hangs. Need too kill. Omar Achraf Em seg., 25 de mai. de 2020 às 15:37, York Law <notifications@github.com> escreveu:
