Hi folks, Recently there was an interesting discussion about a joystick for Node-RED. My first thought was: "how cool would it be if we could use a (virtual) joystick to move around a PTZ capable IP camera". Or is it just me having watched to many programs like CSI NY and Mission Impossible …

@BartButenaers I submitted a feature request on their GitHub :slight_smile: In the meantime, I hacked together (I'm not a CSS or coding guru in general) a dashboard template node to modify the joysticks when the page loads. I had to add a timeout to my script to allow enough time for Angular to do…

[image] dudleyjosh: I had to add a timeout to my script to allow enough time for Angular to do whatever it does on page load. It should be enough to wrap code in scope (its in the ui_template built in help) - not certain though (function(scope) { //do stuff })(scope); Worth a try?

@Steve-Mcl I actually tried that and a variety of variants from that... but no luck :frowning:

Hi, i just downloaded and install the ui-joystick node. The properties tab of the node is missing the send output message options (see screenshot). I am new to node-red and may have missed some steps. Could you kindly please help enlighten? npm version is 6.14.5 node.js version is 14.17.6 [image…

Hi, @BartButenaers Compare to left image from your posts previously vs the right image of edit joystick node properties section i had, i am missing the section from "send output msg at 45deg direction change" onwards. [image] Is there something i am missing in the node installation?

@ecyewp , During the above discussion, some of the properties have been moved to other positions on the config screen: [image] And 3 checkboxes have been replaced by a dropdown, as you can see in the above discussion: [image] So it is al there, but you are looking at screenshots of my first be…

Hi dears and thanks for the great job. I'm trying to test this node but actually, I can't understand why the joystick doesn't appear on UI. I currently use node-red on raspberry pi and I've been testing the node on different raspberry (3B+ and 4B) with separate node-red installation. In both cases…

Hi @Marcos , Do you see any errors in your browser console log? Otherwise I don't have any idea why that happens. Bart

Thanks, @BartButenaers , in the console log, I found this [Capture2] So I tried to run in the node-red folder npm install nipplejs --save and after a no error install, the behaviour is the same. I also tried to restart and change the browser. I understand there is something related to nipplejs…
