hi, me again.
im struggling with some of the code still.
i've amended some code i found on the net which had what i was looking for, pretty straightforward, nothing too complicated, i can get a pc to recognise the board and all inputs respond as should, however when its plugged into an rpi400 ( i have found that the board will only get recognised on usb3 input and an rpi400 is all i have at the minute) and go through the controller setup the buttons are accepted but not the potentiometer, sometimes only get Axis0- but never Axis 0+.
i then run Jstest-gtk which again sees all inputs and responds to the pot as should.
Any help would be most appreciated, i feel im going in circles.
this is the code i have been using....

//Defining the Joystick
//The Joystick is defined in the following setup:
//Joystick(Joystick HID ID, Joystick Type, Button Count, Hat Switch Count, Include X, Include Y, Include Z, Include Rx, Include Ry, Include Rz, Include Rudder, Include Throttle, Include Accelerator, Include Brake, Include Steering
//Joystick HID ID: A Hex value identifier for HID Device Recognition (default: 0x03). DO NOT USE 0x01 or 0x02
//Joystick type: Define the type of joystick from the types supported. Types: DEFAULT Joystick (0x04 or JOYSTICK_TYPE_JOYSTICK), Gamepad (0x05 or JOYSTICK_TYPE_GAMEPAD), Multi-Axis Controller (0x08 or JOYSTICK_TYPE_MULTI_AXIS)
//Button Count: Number of Buttons shown to HID system (default: 32)
//Hat Switch Count: Number of Hat Switches, max 2. (default:2)
//Include X Axis: Determines whether the X axis is avalible for used by the HID system, defined as a bool value (default:true)
//Include Y Axis: Determines whether the Y axis is avalible for used by the HID system, defined as a bool value (default:true)
//Include Z Axis: Determines whether the Z axis is avalible for used by the HID system, defined as a bool value (default:true)
//Include Rx Axis: Determines whether the X Rotational axis is avalible for used by the HID system, defined as a bool value (default:true)
//Include Ry Axis: Determines whether the Y Rotational axis is avalible for used by the HID system, defined as a bool value (default:true)

//Include Brake: Determines whether a Brake axis is avalible for used by the HID system, defined as a bool value (default:true)
//Include Steering: Determines whether a Steering axis is avalible for used by the HID system, defined as a bool value (default:true)
