Hi I'm ho-seong. I'm studying in korea maritime and ocean university.

first of all, thank you for making this program and sharing for free.

I'm using basic joystick(l uploaded joystick picture that I'm using) to control kite but it's impossible to maintain constant reel out speed.

I control reel with button 1,2.(reel-in and reel out).  

to reel-in the kite I press the button1. and to reduce the reel-in speed I left my finger from button1. then reel-in speed turned to zero immediately.

I want to maintain reel-in speed. can I get solution about this problem?

thank you for lead this.

regard, hoseong

Hello,

have a look at the file joy_pad.py

Run this file using Python2 directly.

Preferably set one of the three constants
```
LOGITECH = False # default: no kite joystick present
THROTTLE = False # default: no winch joystick present
RUMBLEPAD = False # default: no kite joystick present
```
to True and try what happens.

If you use a different joystick you need to adapt this file.
