Can I process Xbox 360 controller commands through a cRIO using the USB port?

Hi everyone,
I am building a robotic control system on cRIO -9114 Chassis. Currently I have the xbox controller connected to the PC and I am interpreting the xbox commands in my gui and then transmiting the commands to the RIO. I would like to be able to move the xbox controls from the PC to the RIO is there any way that anyone knows to do this?
Thanks in Advance,

carter12s,
Check out the document on our website, Can I Control a USB Device with NI-VISA on a CompactRIO Controller?, as it may provide some helpful information on this topic.
Have a great day!

Trouble Connecting a Wireless Xbox 360 Controller to Windows 8.1 via the Play & Charge Kit

I've been trying to connect a standard black wireless Xbox 360 controller to my PC, a Dell Inspiron 17R Special Edition (what makes it special is a mystery to me, but that's the name) with the standard Play & Charge Kit.
I downloaded the drivers from Microsoft's website <http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-wireless-controller-for-windows>. Since there was no version for Windows 8.1, I downloaded the version for windows 7 (64-bit) and ran the installer
in compatibility mode. The installer ran just fine, and I was able to run joy.cpl with no trouble. The trouble was, my controller doesn't show up in the list of game controllers, which is blank.
Under Devices and Printers, an item named "Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play and Charge Kit" appears in the "Unspecified" category. When I look at the properties of this device, there are only two tabs, "General" and "Hardware".
Under the "Hardware" tab, there is a device also named"Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play and Charge Kit" whose properties have all the proper drivers and suchlike.
Help!

Uninstall all the driver.
Download and install the latest driver,or,you may try the same to get via Windows Update.

Can I connect to Oracle server7.1 through Java-JDBC using the latest thin drivers???

Hey Gurus,
Please help me .
MY Current requirement is to connect to multiple oracle 7.1( and other variants) servers running on different operating systems, through Java/JDBC.
My FIrst question is, can i connect to older versions of database using latest drivers?
I could connect to the server running on SCO-oracle 7.1 using SQLNet8.1.7 under windows. But the same is not happening when the client is on Linux.But I need to connect from linux
It says ORA-03113 - End of communication channel.
What may be th problem.
If any one could show some pointers where I can get more information about this problem would be helpfull
THanks

I tried the classpath suggestion above (not the one modifying the .xml file) , but it didnt work for me , I am using WLI 10.3.1 and trying to connect DB on 8.1.7 V . I downloaded the classes12.jar and the ojdbc14.jar file from the oracle and placed in lib and the even included the classpath , but i again got the same exception .
All this while i was selecting the option Oracle Driver Thin from the DataBase Driver when creating the connection pool from console . I tried with "BEA Oracle Driver (Type 4)" and it worked for me .. Although the option "BEA Oracle Driver (Type 4)" lists only the DBs from 9.0.1 to 11 G , but in my case using this driver i am able to connect to Oracle DB 8.1.7 . So all you guys if it classpath doesnt fix the issue try out by selecting Driver , "BEA Oracle Driver (Type 4)" .
Manoj , this will fix the Connection pool part of the ques, but for the java part Try to load the Driver class "weblogic.jdbc.oracle.OracleDriver" before connecting to DB with Class.forName.
Thx

Can i get an adapter so i can hook up my cp1215 with a lan cable instead using the usb cable?

I am trying to hook up my printer to my wireless router using a lan cable. Is there an adapter or other method to use?
Thanks

Hi,
Based on its specs, it ONLY has USB connection and no slot for a NIC therefore you can use USB wireless print server to connect it wirelessly.
Here are some of them:
USB Wireless Print Servers
Instructions and driver should come with the box.

HT2801 Apple Store said that the USB SuperDrive would work with my iMac that already has an internal optical drive to be used as a secondary drive, but I can't get it to work when I plug it in the usb port.

Apple store said the USB SuperDrive would work as a secondary drive with my iMac.
After plugging into my USB port, I find it doesn't work. Has anybody else tried this.

Which USB Superdrive are you referring to? If this is the one:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD564ZM/A/apple-usb-superdrive
it states it works with Macbook Air, Mini, or MBP with Retina display. If they told you differently, take it back for a full refund and show them their own website.

Does anyone knows how can I connect a PXW-X70 camera, to a PC and stream with Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2? I connect the camera using the USB port, when I launched Adobe only shows my webcam. Thank you.

Equipment:
PC - Windows 8
Adobe Flash Media Encoder 3.2
Camera: Sony PXW-X70
Thank you....

Just guessing, but Windows wont see it unless you have a driver/interface that makes it appear to windows as a video device.

Can't connect my camera using the usb port. Why does an error message appear?

I've connected this camera hundreds of times in the past. But now it says"A USB is attached that is drawing too much current. The hub to which it is attached will be deactivated." What's going on? This is just a little digital point and shoot.

A powered hub is a USB hub with it's own power supply. Google "powered hub". There's plenty to choose from. These don't depend on the computer connection to supply power to the USB devices connected to them. That's the reason for them requiring a separate power supply and of course why they are called "powered hubs".
The fact that your camera works when the printer is disconnected confirms what I have been saying. The machine just cannot supply enough power (I think it's 500mA max) to supply all the devices you want to connect concurrently (or it's right on the ragged edge).
As for seeing the power draw, the info is indeed in the System Profiler*. Select a USB device and look for info labeled "Current Available (mA)" and "Current Required (mA)". It's the current required that I think is the power draw.
* It's also shown in USB Prober in the Developert tools utilities.

Looking for descent, affordable wired router so I can hook up XBox 360-iMac

I just got an XBox 360, and I'd like to use the XBox Live features. Could anyone suggest a dependable, wired router that wouldn't cost much more than fifty dollars? I really have no need to go wireless, and besides I'd have to buy the wireless adaptor for the XBox 360 if I did. There's also usually at least one or two Bit Torrents running on my G5 iMac.
More importantly, I'd like to know if having the XBox Live online would interfere with the bit torrents running on the iMac, and should I expect to see a major decrease in upload/download speed on running torrents?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Visit DealMac and see what router deal they have located. Typically in the Sunday paper you can find several for $20 or less after rebate.

I am currently using the firewire port on my macbook pro to record dv from my camera. Can I capture video/audio using my USB port as well?ra

I've been connecting a sony PD170 via firewire to my Macbook pro to record directly using Quicktime pro. Can I use the usb port (and mini audio in) to accomplish this with a camcorder that doesn't have a fire wire port but does have USB out?

It could just be a bad disc - I use Verbatim and have only had one fail in a ten-year time period. Try getting a batch of Verbatims and see if you have any problems. I didn't even know that there were Kodak branded discs...

Can anyone explain when the USB port on the Express is really needed?

Back with another question!
My Airport Express is used only for my Canon printer (MP980), nothing else. I know, with hooking up my new Mac Mini, I'll get new drivers from Apple and will need to install some of the updated software from Canon... from what I've read, I won't try to use the disc that originally came with the printer.
Since I'll join my Airport network for printing after my older Mini is disconnected, when is there a need to use the USB port on the Express? I've read that it's used for connecting multiple computers to the network. But, I'm having some confusion with this. With my network up and running, I assume I would be able to use my old Mini and the new Mini on the same network, if I decided to unplug one and use the other one for a short time, since my network settings won't change. (I have but one monitor!). Is a USB connection to the printer only required if multiple computers are shared simultaneously with the printer via Airport Express?? I never really understood this completely. All I expect to do for a few months is occasionally unplug one Mini for the other as I save some files onto disc, etc.
Did I make sense?

you can hook up a printer (or a Keyspan remote to control iTunes). one aspect may be location. what if you want the printer in a different room or on a different floor in the house ?

yes, you can also share a printer connected to your mini with other client machines.
btw, you could use the +screen sharing+ feature to access and manage the screenless mini.

no, all machines on your network could use a printer connected to either of your mini's or connected to the AX.

Can i charge an omni 10 threw the usb port

can an omni 10 be charged by using the usb port?
This question was solved.

Hi,
The recommendation is to use the charger which comes with the unit. You still can use USB port to charge BUT it may take ages to get a full charge and this may effect your computer.

Xbox 360 controller works in mate desktop but not DWM?

Hello,
I just switched to DWM from mate desktop. I use my xbox 360 controller with steam home streaming. Worked perfectly under mate but it doesnt work at all in DWM.
The xbox controller light is on in dwm and I can confirm it still works under mate. I tried installing xf86-input-joystick but no joy. (didnt need this under mate)
Anyone know what makes this work in mate desktop or how to make it work in dwm?
Many Thanks.
PS: Don't know if it helps but my .xinitrc is just a copy of /etc/skel
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f

I installed this driver:
http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver
And now my MBP reliably recognizes the controller (evident by it showing me what commands it is receiving in the preference pane created by this driver), but I've found that getting an individual game to behave nicely with the controller is a whole other ball of wax...good luck.

Xbox 360 Controller not recognized by Macbook.

I just bought an xbox 360 controller to play games with it while programing it through a software. When I first plug it in, the Mac recognizes the controller. If I unplug it and then plug it in again, the 360 controller lights will flash, but it won;t recognize it. If I restart my computer, plug it in, its fine again. Now, if I plug it in, it works, un plug it, but plug it into a different usb port, it will work again. Once I've used one port, it won't work with it and will have to restart my Mac. Any help would be great, Thanks!
