Gamepads

Gamepads are stored in the Devices class.

There are two:

  • Devices.controller0
  • Devices.controller1

Usage​

To use the gamepads, use the method named get + the name of the button or stick. Axes return double and buttons return boolean.

Button Registry​

First you must enable the feature, so add this to the construct() function of the OperationMode:

Devices.enableButtonRegistration();

To register a button, use the method registerButton in the Devices class.

Devices.controller#.registerButton(GamepadRequestInput.Button , "Button Usage")

If a button isn't registered, or you attempt to register a button twice the opmode will fail. To search for a button use the method searchForButton in the Devices class.

Devices.controller#.buttonSearch("Button Usage")

See the Buttoner.java Opmode to see sample code

If you want a list of buttons and their uses, possibly to print to the driver station, use the method getButtonRegistry in the Devices class.

Devices.genList();
