Re: Joystick Expansion

Thanks,

The joystick works in PnP mode by default so i think that that is ok. I did some detective work in the labView code for both the cRIO and dashboard and i have come to the conclusion that the place where the joystick is limited to 12 buttons is inside the driver station software. Is there a way to edit the source code files to add more buttons.

Also, I had the idea that if we could trick the computer to thinking that 2 joysticks were plugged in by cloning the 1st one and then reassigning buttons values? Would this be possible?

Finally, Is any of this legal under the game rules?
