Bugfix to support multiple joysticks

Open whoenig opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

The prior initialization/cleanup in the loop prevents that multiple joysticks are working. Since SDL is event-based, it suffices to initialize/cleanup once.

Fixes issue #231.

I have tested this and the fix works for me, what's the process to get this merged?

Any update on this? It's kind of a shame that we still can't use multiple joysticks in ROS2 without a custom patch like this one...

I believe that since #247 , this is actually no longer a problem. We now only attempt to SDL_Init once during the constructor.

Given that, I'm going to close this out. But feel free to reopen if this is still a problem for you.
