Hi @Jnyberg,
Are you using the servo_n_min/max_momentary button functions? If not that may be the issue. If not it may be a controller specific thing, in which case hopefully @etienne has some idea what’s going on 
@EliotBR @etienne Yes I am using the momentary buttons. But they just open/close the gripper fully. There was other options I tried too that didn’t work since momentary is what I would expect to be the one to work.
Update: I added an extra button with the assignment servo_n_center and that allows me to stop the gripper at its current position. So I am able to manually start and stop it in either direction when I please, but this is a very inefficient and inaccurate process with three buttons compared to the other controllers using the momentary feature with two buttons. I am wondering if there is no option for momentary assignments on this HCU for the buttons and only for the dials?
Hi everyone !
For our BlueROV2s running BlueOS and Cockpit, we are looking for some controllers which would be off-the-shelf, compact (anywhere from an Xbox one to a beautifully made ad-hoc controllers by @etienne , @paul-unterweiser, @an-ron , @ROV , @tciii , etc. ) and “cheap” (<500€, yes we want to have one per vehicle) but with more precise joysticks than the Xbox one (using e.g. Hall-effect joysticks).
Has anybody found something with these criteria on the market ?
More specifically, we were wondering if it is possible to use a controller like the Jumper T-Pro - AliExpress. This seems to have Hall effect joystick. It is meant for radio control since we could not find one without it, but could it also be connected to cockpit using the function “simulator: usb-c”
Hi @Eloi -
I’ve had the best luck with PS5 controllers! I’ve also been testing 8bitdo controllers, Cockpit doesn’t (yet) support their D-Pad but 6 total trigger buttons makes up for this a bit…
Generally, if you can get a joystick recognized in a html5 gamepad tester webpage, it will work with Cockpit!
Did you just put 500euro and cheap in the same sentence? For that money you could buy a Virpil Alpha.
You can buy the hall-effect gimbals as replacement parts for say a Radiomaster TX16S, then 3-D print your own controller.
Let’s say that simple gamepads are 10-1000 which are very cheap, professional equipment by DeltaROV or others are 1000-10000 and I am looking for the 100-1000 price range which is indeed cheap for us.
Thanks
