Firstly, I am aware that there have been numerous posts about the joystick on these Forums. My query is different; I am not interested in utilising pygame for my purposes. A few questions:
Question 2: Is the joystick guaranteed to be bound to /dev/input/event0?
Question 3: How will the push buttons be accessible, if at all? If they are, is it possible to emulate their functionality; if so, how?
Question 5: Will the push buttons have default actions? If so, what actions are these, can said actions be overridden, and how?
Question 7: Will the Pi(s) designated to go into space log in automatically? Will the winning entry scipts be run on login, and how? .bashrc entry, .profile entry, cron job, or something else?
