Re: how to program an xbox controller to drive a robot

You can program them the same way you program any joystick, the buttons/axis will just not match up by default, you can do some experimenting to figure that out.

If you are using Java, I wrote a class for the Xbox Controller last year that is a drop in replacement for the standard joystick class when it comes to the CommandBased scheduling.

XboxController.java

Re: how to program an xbox controller to drive a robot

If you're working in LabVIEW, NI released a nifty program to show you where the axes and buttons are.
