Hello,

I would like to know how how to access a button press on the new VEXnet joystick. In the older controller, the buttons were Channels 5 and 6 and could be referred to as such, but how do we do it for the new ones?

To access button values in ROBOTC, the vexRT[] command is still used, but now you use the letters Btn, followed by the group number it belongs to… and finally the letter U, D, L, or R, depending on the buttons direction.

For example, if you wanted to access the value of the down button on the front-left of the remote control, you would use vexRT[Btn7D] short for vexRT Button Group 7 Down.

Hello,

Thanks for your last post, I could not find what the buttons were called. I am now trying to run a motor off the press of a button. (Pressed --- full power/Released --- nothing) Here is an example of what I would like.



What would the "???" be in this example?

Thanks!

When pressed, a button has a value of 1. When released, it has a value of 0. So in your example, the ??? would probably be 1.
