Is it possible to control controller vibration?

[Ty Tremblay]

Our team would like to be able to control the vibration of the Xbox 360 controller we have such that it vibrates while the shooter wheels are spinning.

Has anyone had any luck controlling the vibration of a controller?

Nope. There is no output on the wpilibj Joystick class. You'd have to interface with it yourself.

You'd have to modify the DriverStation software to do that, which isn't allowed.

You could modify the wiring so that, when the shooter button is pressed, the vibration motor is switched on.

Now that sounds like some true innovation lol.
