Help on Programming

[nandu10]

On the Digital Output/Input window there are only 4 choices for buttons on the joystick: trigger, aux1, aux2, and thumb. But on the joystick there is a big button between the aux1 and aux2. What is that button called? Where do you program that button in easyc?

I believe this uses p#_aux input. How they do this is they have a different resistor on each of the switch positions and this will cause the number to be slightly different on the Analog Input.

What I would do is do a Print to Screen and move the switch around to see the number changes.

I can post back when I get a chance to test it tonight. Until then I would try doing different print screens of all the values

You need to use the GetOIAnalog RC block for the hat switch.

Gamer930's answer is almost completely correct. The joystick "hat" switch is actually connected to the WHEEL input.

This post should give you some idea what values the hat switch returns. I wouldn't use it for anything that needs fine control (like drive) but more like a few (4) buttons like the poster suggests.
