John,

We made some corrections to the Distributor modules. Can you try with the latest version and see if you still get the same behavior?

Thanks,
STeven.

I reverted back to version 2.48.17 and the Client/Distributor problem cleared up. I believe the issue came sometime after this version.

Joystick variables over distributor server/client

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:11:00 EST

I am using the distributor server/client modules to control my robot (a converted wheelchair). I have a laptop on the robot connected to a Sabertooth 2x25 via a ttl to usb connector. I am using a joystick on my desktop PC to control the robot. I am sending the variables via the Distributor client on the PC to the server on the robot (joystick variables: ff1;ff2). The issue I am having is that the variables transmit just fine while I am moving the controller button, but the moment I take it back to center (ff1=0;ff2=0) it is often retaining old joystick position information.

Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.
