Xbox Controller POV Button

[Julian_C]

Hey everyone, I’m very familiar with the new Command Based framework for Joystick Buttons but im struggling to figure out how to map a POV button to a whenPressed command.

We just want the button to change a variable in a subsystem using a lambda function (which is easy to implement, we just need to get the button mapping done).

Essentially in the RobotContainer, we want:
new JoystickButton(operatorController, (POV UP Button)).whenPressed(() -> vision.changeTarget());

Any help would be appreciated.

I think this was covered in this post.

Coding Motor Using DPad on a controller

if using the new command framework in the robot container button binding section add something like this. Just change the subsystems/methods/commands you want to run with it. new POVButton(driverController, 0) .whenPressed(new RunCommand(lift::pov0, lift)); new POVButton(driverController, 90) .whenPressed(new RunCommand(lift::pov90, lift)); new POVButton(driverController, 180) .whenPressed(new RunCommand(lift::pov180, lift)); new POVButton(driverController, 270) .whenPressed…

The answer is exactly what @chadr03 linked to. Just use a POVButton object. It extends “Button”, so you have all of the whenPressed/whileHeld/etc methods available

Thank you. I remembered seeing this post but couldn’t remember what it was called.
