Run the PACMod Game Control Demo

All vehicles with a PACMod installed also come with the pacmod_game_control

There are two methods to launch the demonstration on a typical vehicle. First, an ECU configured by AutonomouStuff for use on a PACMod enabled vehicle will have a desktop icon named "Joystick Demo" for launching the demo graphically. Second, the launch commands will always be available through the terminal ( Ctrl+Alt+t ). 

1. On the Ubuntu Desktop, locate the icon shaped like a joystick with the name "Joystick Demo"
   
   

   Open

   

2. Double Click the icon and the demonstration will start. You should see output in a terminal window that looks similar to the output below:
