   * The input-device needs to be recognized by the host operating system. This means that it should be seen in the operating system and be usable in other applications or utilities.   * The input-device needs to be recognized by the host operating system. This means that it should be seen in the operating system and be usable in other applications or utilities.
   * When using the Crazyflie graphical control client you need at least the correct mappings for roll/pitch/yaw/thrust. This can be checked by opening the //Flight Data// tab. If the input-device is found and opened then you should see values in the //Target// fields for //Roll//,//Pitch//,//Yaw// and //Thrust//. Moving the analogue axis should show you output here. Make sure that you get the full span according to the settings on the left side of the tab. I.e if the setting for //Max roll/pitch// is 20 then you should be able to get from -20 to + 20 in the target field (and the same for yaw and thrust). Also make sure that none of the axis interact (like moving roll will also move pitch).   * When using the Crazyflie graphical control client you need at least the correct mappings for roll/pitch/yaw/thrust.

   * If the mappings are not correct in the previous point go to the menu //Input-device->Configure device mapping//, select the device you would like to configure and go though the configuration by clicking detect on each of the items in the dialog (everything has to be configured). Lastly enter the name of the configuration (without file extension) and press save. Now restart the application and try again.   * If the mappings are not correct in the previous point go to the menu //Input-device->Configure device mapping//, select the device you would like to configure and go though the configuration by clicking detect on each of the items in the dialog (everything has to be configured).

 +**INFO** 
 + 
 +All modern Linux distribution now have a kernel driver for the x-box gamepad. Thus it is unlikely the //xboxdrv// user-space driver is needed. 
 +</WRAP> 
 + 
 + 
 +If you are having problems getting this to work the userspace driver ''xboxdrv'' might be needed. It can be installed (on Ubuntu) by running: 
 +<code> 
 +sudo apt-get install xboxdrv 
 +</code> 
 +And then started by running: 
 +<code> 
 +sudo xboxdrv 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +More info about the ''xboxdrv'' is available [[http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/xboxdrv/|here]].
