Supported Hardware
This node should work with any joystick that is supported by Linux.
API Stability
The ROS API of this node should be considered stable.
Using this Package
For an example of using joy_node to control a teleoperation node with a joystick, see the tutorials.
In some cases, multiple joysticks may control a single robot. For example, a user may use the default joystick to drive a robot, but a second user may wish to use a different kind. Since the button mappings on each joystick may be different, it will be necessary to remap buttons on one joystick so they can match. See the Joystick Remapper package for details.
