If you're using the Command Based templates I second what Kriek is suggesting.

Ether's suggestion is the generic description of exactly what Kriek

Here is an example of running commands whenever a joystick button is pressed. You can also associate commands with buttons from the Cypress module or any arbitrary polled trigger (see Trigger class).

Besides using whenPressed() you can also call whenReleased() to get a command to run when the button is released or whileHeld() to get a command to repeatedly run while the button is pressed.
