[JoergSH]

When I touch the pad Ball doesn't move I get following Problem:

======== Exception caught by gesture ===============================================================
The following _TypeError was thrown while handling a gesture:

I'm experiencing the same issue. Have you found a solution @JoergSH ?

Not sure if this is a optimal solution, but assigning a value to the "_callbackTimestamp" worked for me.
You can find the problematic function at,

control_pad_plus/lib/views/joystick_view.dart >> GestureDetector(onPanStart)

(Above path is only for joystick. Since I was only using the joystick widget, do not have an idea about other views.)

Then edit the "onPanStart:" function as follows.

onPanStart: (details) {
              // add this block
              if (_callbackTimestamp == null) {
                _callbackTimestamp = DateTime.now();
              }
              // ends here
              _callbackTimestamp = _processGesture(actualSize, actualSize / 2,
                  details.localPosition, _callbackTimestamp!);
              setState(() => lastPosition = details.localPosition);
            },
