I built that rudder system: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3475445
And used this ArduinoJoystickLibrary as recommended there.

After a little odyssey of troubleshooting, the fear has come true now. The rudder system including Arduino are error-free. On a Windows 7-Laptop, the rudder immediately provides data in the control panel of Windows and also the tool "DIView" when using the Jumper for activating the calibration.

On Win10:

  • I could upload the programm on the Arduino Micro
  • I can see the data of the Hall-Sensors via the Arduino monitor by using another small software on the Arduino.
  • The Arduino is recognized automatically as a game controller but neither the control panel of windows itself nor the DIView show any "lifesign" of the rudder. None of the 3 hall sensors show an input when moving.

I would be very grateful for help. I need it running on Windows 10.

Technical Details

I just tested it once again on the Windows 10-PC after it worked immediately on the old Win7-Laptop. And now it works on Win10, too.

After several hours of trouble-shooting. And honestly can´t say why, except that the rudder previously ran on Windows 7.
