Re: Can LabVIEW take advantage of controller button pressure sensitivity?

What hardware are you using? If it's reported by the hardware labview should be able to read it as well as any other language.

Don, perhaps I'm just not seeing it. but just given ON/OFF how would you determine the rate a button was pressed? I'm imagining it being off for some arbitrarily long amount of time then being pressed and turning to on for an undetermined amount of time. However, I could see the length of press being used to control something about an action, assuming it was a press and release action not a press and hold action. For example in several video games quickly tapping the jump button vs holding it will result in a different sized jump.
