I need to get the value off the X axis on Joystick(1) the value being 0-256
I need to put the value into a float(JoyStick1Value)

#include “WPILib.h”
#include <Joystick.h>

class RobotDemo : public SimpleRobot
{
RobotDrive MyRobot;
Joystick RightStick;
Joystick LeftStick;

public:
RobotDemo(void):
MyRobot(1, 2),
RightStick(1),
LeftStick(2)

{
	GetWatchdog().SetExpiration(100);
}

void Autonomous(void)
{

}

void OperatorControl(void)
{
	GetWatchdog().SetEnabled(true);
	while (IsOperatorControl())
		
	{
	RightStick.GetX(); //this is what i need help with
	}
}

};

START_ROBOT_CLASS(RobotDemo);

I know i use this but RightStick.GetX(); where do i put the float to get the value

What are you trying to do with it?

Are you talking about doing smething like:
float variablename = stick.GetX();?

I don’t really undestand what you are specifically trying to do.

I am sorry i figured it out
(float) = RightStick.GetX();
