p1_sw_aux data type

[wireties]

"pwm01 goes to a motor that is meant to pivot two casters. I know that the victor its wired to works as well as the controller and cables and such. I know that in C++ the if statements should work but I haven't used C in a while and I forgot the differences in the two standards. Again, any help is greatly appreciated."

C++ is a superset of C thus everything that works in C will work in C++. Your code looks OK. You know p2_sw_aux1 is on the second joystick, correct? Print the value of p2_sw_aux1 to make sure it is changing.

This isn't entirely true. C++ is a modified version of C that incorporates true object oriented programming into it. There are also a few fundamental syntax changes (cout<<""; instead of printf(""), as one example) that may play havoc with direct conversions of code. If you are coming from C++ to C, the differences are easy and trivial enough to learn C.

"This isn't entirely true."

This is a common mis-perception. Its entirely true, C++ is a superset of C that expands the syntax to include object-oriented concepts, streaming I/O and other constructs. Though it is not the recommended practice, I can use printf in C++. It makes no difference in this thread I reckon but C preceded C++, not the other way around.
