D-Pad on Logitech 3D pro

[Micah Chetrit]

Our team is using the Logitech 3D pro joystick and it has an 8 direction D-Pad. Our team is wondering if it is possible to get the state of the D-Pad and use it to control two relays. I did not see an function for this in the WPI library. Is there an easy way to do this? is it like a button as far as how to get it? Any help is appreciated.

It's likely returning information on a couple of axis inputs. Look at the values coming back on axes 5 and 6, for example.
