How to assign buttons in 2015

[Greg McKaskle]

If you would like to write a simple subVI that does the cluster conversion, or returns the buttons as named outputs, you can then use the subVI over and over and it will match your joystick or usage.

Do you need help doing this?

The problem with the named cluster output is that it doesn't match all joysticks and will cause even more confusion when it is incorrect.

We did exactly that for several different types of game controllers. Right now we have specific VIs for the "Attack 3" joystick and "AirFlow" and "Afterglo" brand gamepads. The component names of the Axes and Buttons bundles match the labels on the controllers.
