Joystick is plugged into USB port.
Open Terminal window. Note: CalVR and VRPN for joystick tracking will be run in separate terminal windows.
Navigate to directory containing Joystick tracking executable.

 cd /home/neuro/CalVR/bin

The "vrpn.xml" configuration file should already be in this directory, but if not, the most up to date file location is: "/home/neuro/CalVR/applications/vrpn_libusb_general/vrpn.xml"
Type the following command into the terminal

./libusb_general_server

There are a few possible ways that this command may not run properly.
- If the output from the terminal indicates that the "vrpn.xml" configuration file was not found, use the following command: ./libusb_general_server XXX

Where "XXX" is the absolute path to the "vrpn.xml" configuration file.

To confirm that the Joystick is plugged in to the head node, open a terminal and type in the command

 lsusb

and hit enter.

You should see

 Logitech, Inc. ATK3 (Attack III Joystick)

among the listed USB devices.
