Programming With an XBOX Controller

[MrTechCenter]

You would program an Xbox Controller in Labview just like an ordinary joystick. Take a look at the example code for a joystick and do the same. There's a bit more to it that's hard to explain and I won't have access to our programming laptop until tomorrow to show an example. Message me and I'll make a video tutorial for you tomorrow.

This is very helpful.....will help you determine which axis is which and same for buttons.

I have no familiarity with LabVIEW, but here are the button id's.

/** XBOX Controller Notes

* Buttons:
	* A=1 
	* B=2 
	* X=3 
	* Y=4 
	* LB=5 
	* RB=6 
	* Back=7 
	* Start=8 
	* LeftAnalog=9
	* RightAnalog=10 

* Axis:
	* LeftX=1
	* LeftY=2
	* RightX=4
	* RightY=5
	* Trigger=3 (Left moves -, Right moves +)
 */

D-Pad X is on axis 6 also.

Previously, LeftAnalog and RightAnalog were only on Trigger (not Digitals). Has this changed?

If you push the joysticks straight down, they both register as additional buttons.

Hrm.

I mapped out that controller in 2011 and could not find those buttons. Maybe they changed something since then.
