we see a half red/ half green comm indicator for the robot, but reading other threads indicates that normal.

it *seems* that the 2015 DS maps the axes on an XBox controller differently than the 2014 DS. Can anyone confirm or deny?
The 2014 Driver Station used the outdated DirectInput API to get the inputs for joysticks. The 2015 DS uses XInput. This is the cause of the changes other than the switch to the 0-based axes/buttons.
