If I were using a PS3 controller, that would definitely be the case.

    public static int getDPad1( )
    {
        return 6;
    }

This is a snippet of code I'm using in a config file that is imported into our main robot code, referenced here:

if ( opControl.getRawAxis( ControllerConfig.getDPad1( ) ) >= 0.03 )
            {
                System.out.println( "This is Axis #6." );
            }

In this case, when the robot is running in teleoperated mode, and the D-Pad is pressed to the right, it prints "This is Axis #6." This is placeholder code, but it's apparent that if I try to create and call a 7th axis, it won't work. I just want to know if there's some sort of workaround so I can use the Up-Down axis of the D-Pad.
