Starting Joystick
- 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
