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

What is the name of this controller? The WPI Libraries may not be able to read it, however you can send the data from a custom dashboard that is reading the controller values with LabVIEW's default joystick input, or by extending DLLs if you want.

An example of extending DLLs In LabVIEW can be found here:

This shows an example of extending the xinput dll to control the vibration of a connected xbox 360 controller.
