Are you sure you are pushing the correct combination of buttons?

No button combinations are registering

What controller are you using and have you downloaded Slim Dx onto your computer?

Is it perhaps because they are standard console controllers? The cable detaches and the controller can be used via wireless. Do they need to be solely wired controllers?

Are you trying to connect it to the computer via a usb cable or solely wireless? Also, have you downloaded the drivers for your controller?

Edit: Team 250 used a standard Xbox controller so I don't think that's the issue. You can ask them if they had to do anything different.

Im trying to use it wired, that'll be more reliable than bluetooth. I don't think i have the drivers, where would i go about getting those. It does say it installs some software when i plug it in though.

These are for PS3

After a quick google search I found that there a lot of issues with trying to work a dualshock 3 controller on pc. A solution I found is downloading drivers from motionjoy. Though I do not how to do it, they have a tutorial on their. In my opinion , I suggest you try a ps2 controller or any other controller. Some people have had bad issues with motionjoy, which is why I advise to try a different controller. But, if you really want to use the dualshock, their drivers are your best bet.

Ill have to try and find some, a far as I knew, they had to be dual shock 3 since it said it was for ps3 controllers

First off, thank you for developing this software. Regardless of what we found below, we believe this is a great addition to the community.

For our testing we are using a Acer laptop w/ 17" monitor, all software was installed as directed. We are however using XBox controllers and have faced a couple hurdles with that.

XBox Specific Issues
The following issues are related to using different controllers. Anyone using XBox controllers should expect to experience these issues.
  • The X,Y,B and A buttons are working fine.
  • The start and back buttons are programed as the Left Joystick and Right Joystick.
  • The triggers are not registering.
  • There also is no climb button as the center button that says Xbox is not programmable. We're reprogramming this to the D-Pad.


All Scouters
  • If you hold down multiple buttons it counts for all of them.
  • If you hold buttons down the count continues to increment.
  • If you hit both buttons to switch from teleop to auto and auto to teleop the scouter will temporarily disappear.
  • All the scores can go into the negatives which isn't a game option.

Scouter 5 Specific
  • I have also found problems with scouter 5, it does not switch from teleop and auto mode correctly.
  • Also with scouter 5 if you try to make it score in auto all scores go to teleop.
  • There is an issue with the last digit not showing in any window if it goes to 3 digits or 2 digits that are negative.

Scouter 1 Specific
  • There is also a problem with scouter one on the low goal in auto or teleop there is a zero in front of whatever score u have, but we think this is just a error of having an extra text box over the real text box.


Controller Issues
  • If any controller becomes unplugged while running the scouting program you have to restart it or else that controller will not register.
  • There is also no way to get scouter three to register unless u have all 6 controllers plugged in.


For some of these issues we are rewriting sections of the code. We definitely can share back the changes we have had to make to accommodate the Xbox controllers.

So, how do you go about making it work with the Xbox controllers? Our team really wants us to try and do that instead.
I am in no way experienced with code, but a lot of my team is. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

Well, the controllers we are using are usb ps3 controllers which mean they are only usb compatible.

Ok.

We have decided to use Xbox controllers, and so far they are working well, just trying to change some of the code to work with the Xbox controllers.

Our main trouble now is that no one has visual studio...

Trying to verify with dreamspark right now...

Thanks for all the help so far
