Re: USB Joystick adapter is here!

You are correct Mike the OI does see a limited value from the controller. We wrote software to translate the variations into "steps" 5 to - 5 and this works fine, this is what we used on our 2006 robot that used to play the whole 2006 on and off season. You are also right about 127 had to program the code so that when it read 127 (unplugged) to send neutral to the motors. Otherwise the robot would take off when the controller was unplugged.

Mike,

The big question is are you working with FIRST/IFI to get your adapter legal
for competition? If you are working with them have they been receptive to
the idea?
