Can't figure out how to use arm in STS-8

[Zac]

So I'm at a point where I'm supposed to use the robotic arm to get a satellite out of the cargo bay. It says to turn on the monitor but when I do its only black.
Also when I got external view and move my joystick up and down it looks like the end of the arm is moving a little bit but only that part.

In regards to the first part of the question, other than the monitor, have you also turned on the cameras? If not, use the switches at the top of panel A7U where it says "Camera Power". As for the RMS camera, if you want to switch between the Elbow camera and the End Effector camera, use the bottom right switch located on the Payload Bay Flood lights section of the aforementioned panel.

As for the second part of the question, I don't use a joystick, so I'm not really able to help you, sorry

Thank you for the information!

How do you move the arm without a joystick?

Using the keypad on the keyboard: 9 and 3 control the shoulder pitch, / and * control the shoulder yaw, 8 and 2 the wrist pitch, 6 and 4 wrist roll, 0 and . control the wrist yaw, + and - control the elbow pitch, 5 controls the grapple fixture, once for capturing, once to release. Make sure the FLT CONTRL Power switch on the A6U panel is on and the power switch for the RMS on A8L is set to Primary (RMS Power switch).
