Xbox controller setup

I am programming in Labview, and our team would like to try using an Xbox controller this year instead of joysticks. I saw a suggestion to simply plug it in and treat it like a normal joystick, but when I tried, it did not detect the controller. Do I need to implement something in my code to detect it?

Also, once it is detected, how do I access both joysticks on the Xbox controller?

Thank you in advance! :slight_smile:

Just plug it in and use the Driver Station to put it in the right USB slot.

All it’s axis and buttons show up as a single joystick device.
You have to make the axis or button to what you want it to do.
