[FTC]: controller programming

[chopperdudes]

does anyone know how to use the up/down/left/right arrows on the left side of the controller? as in how would you refer to them in the programing? from what our programmer said, he cannot figure it out =(

thanks a ton guys!

The top-hat activates like this:

"if(joystick.joy1_TopHat == 1){
//do something
}"

It's really just four buttons and the variable "joystick.joy1_TopHat" will contain one of five values representing the pressed button (the fifth value is for no buttons). I forget which order the buttons correspond in now, but it's pretty easy to use,

Good luck and we'll see you in atlanta,

actually there are the 4 cardinal directions and 4 diagonals, plus the no buttons pushed "direction" is 9
