I currently have a Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 and am trying to use it in a GUI. For whatever reason, I'm unable to detect the joystick. Does anyone know of any issues with this joystick and the vrjoystick or analoginput('joy') function, as neither appears to be working properly?
do you have the joystick correctly installed in your operating system?
Are you able to use it from the OS or from other applications?

Sherryl,
Thank you so much for your help. As it turns out, I already stumbled across that package and downloaded it, but still to no avail. When I type in daqregister('joy'), I get 'Register function failed.' Any other ideas, or do I need to just get a new joystick?
Hi Bill,
Registration problems are tricky to diagnose remotely.
We've greatly improved error messages from registration problems in newer releases so if you're on an older release and can upgrade to R2009b you should do so.
Also, registration is different on XP and Vista due to Vista's UAC, but in both cases you must be logged in as an administrator of the PC or be running MATLAB as an administrator in order to successfully register.
Another thought is to provide the full pathname to the adaptor to daqregister.
Search for daqregister both on The MathWorks website and in these newsgroups for additional places to find information.
