Go to Post Mentors need to be sure that the team is on track to have a working robot ready. Students can do almost everything, but they need help watching the calender. Even if your ideas turn out bad, if your robot is inspectable and running when you arrive at your first event, anything can happen. - AcesPease [more]

Programming Logitech Dual Action

For the control of our tube manipulator this year it would really help if we could use the d-pad on the Logitech Dual Action controller. However, I haven't yet found the VI in LabView to let us assign functions to the d-pad. I think it should be possible (why have this controller if we can't use all of the buttons), but nothing seems to get the computer to recognize the d-pad. Help!

Thanks!

Re: Programming Logitech Dual Action

You're using LabVIEW, right? Wire up a front-panel indicator to the axis and buttons outputs of a Joystick Get and see what responds when you play with the gamepad.

Re: Programming Logitech Dual Action

The D-pad is axis 1 and 2 when mode is on the controller I believe that it reports values of 0 90 180 and 270 depending on the angle
