Both of these issues can be resolved by configuring parameters for the Joystick. The choice of which input to configure for a joystick with less than three buttons is up to the user, but the remaining inputs must be configured.

1. In Automation-1 Automation1 Studio, navigate to the Configure tab and then into Tasks>JoystickTasks > Joystick
2. Scroll all the way down to Inputs, and locate the following parameters:
   1. JoystickAxesSelect - Selects the next axis/pair of axes to be actively controlled by the joystick
   2. JoystickInterlock - Returns control of the axis from the joystick. 
   3. JoystickSpeedSelect - Selects the speed of the axis
3. Click the pencil next to each, set the Input Type to Drive Digital, and choose the axis, like so:

Once configured, each of these parameters will change to a long, seemingly random numberdecimal value. This is normal, as long as they're set to drive digital, the I/O and Interlock errors should be cleared.

If the Interlock is not configured or not mapped to a button, the only way to pass control of the axis away from the joystick is to abort motion on that axis.

If you are using a third party joystick and the joystick is not behaving as expected, consult your joystick's manual for voltages and confirm JoystickInput0MaxVoltage and JoystickInput0MinVoltage are set accordingly.
