Monsterborg PS4 Controller Axis Assignment
Forums:
I recently purchased a Monsterborg kit, order number 231858. I carefully followed all directions during assembly. My problem is that when using a PS4 dual shock controller, only the left hand stick appears to be operational and the monsterborg will only go forward and in reverse. The right hand stick to make left or right turns does nothing. The PS4 controller is paired successfully and the test script "jstest" shows responsiveness in both controller sticks. I have also edited the "MonsterJoy" script to change the button slow to =6 and the button fast turn to =7, per instruction in this forum. I have tried 2 different PS4 controllers with the same result. I am wondering if additional programming is required to make the PS4 controller functional. Please help! Thank you.

Two possible suggestions
I have two possible suggestions on what the problem might be.
The first is a bit of confusion about the controls. The right stick is used to control steering and the left stick is used to control speed. This means that the MonsterBorg will steer right if BOTH the left stick is pushed forward and the right stick is pushed right at the same time.
The second suggestion is that you might need to change the mapping for the right stick axis (
axisLeftRight
). We have seen one other person with this problem on the forum: http://forum.piborg.org/node/2607Wincoll

Thank you very much indeed for your fast response. Changing the (axislefttright) mapping to 3 fixed the problem. The Monsterborg works perfectly now! Thanks again!
