Our team is trying to set up the dual contoller setup. However the robot doesn't respond to the second controller at all. We believe that it isn't so much the syntax of the program, but maybe it is the way we have the program get settings from the driver. right now it is setup to #include "Joystickdriver.c" and then to getjoysticksettings(joystick); do we need another thing to allow control of the other controller. For information it worked fine with just one controller. Thanks.

I am having the same issue. Furthermore adding code such as:



causes errors in other parts of my code.

That is the correct usage.
Are you using the dual joystick setting in the joystick debug window & are you sure both joysticks are registered and working properly?

Can you provide a more specific code example and what types of errors it is giving you?

Yes we have the dual joystick checkboc checked and the second one comes up and responds to controls, meaning it shows the buttons being pressed. But the robot doesn't respond to the controls, and I know that they are programmed for the second one.

dallasrobotics, can you post the code in question?

That's because it's not the right syntax. joy2btn(1) tests for the button in itself. From "JoystickDriver.c":

Will work just fine. I don't know if that's part of your problem, dallasrobotics.

The syntax is fine, although I personally prefer the simplified style in nender's example.

here it is it's long.

I'm going to assume that most of your issues are a direct result of misusing while loops when you likely wanted to use a simple if condition. Remember that the code within the body of the while construct will be the only code executed (in a rapid loop) until the condition in the while statement becomes false.
So for example, if you have two joysticks and one of your while loops is run if a button on joystick 1 is not pressed, then nothing else in your code (which may do things based on input from joystick 2) will be executed until that button on the first joystick is pressed.

I see exactly that scenario in the snippet below. Notice how nothing else in your code will ever get executed until button 7 on joystick 1 is pressed. There are numerous cases of this in your code and I suspect you are getting trapped up in them.


Here is your same code with the while loops switched to if/else conditions and a portion of your drive-train control removed from the shooter control block at the bottom (it appeared to be in multiple places?):



Notice how much simpler this is already. I'd suggest changing all your nested while statements out with if statements (not the outer while(true) statement) and try troubleshooting from there.

Best of luck.

well we were trying to do a intricate control scheme and then we discovered that it would be much simpler if we just left one controller to moving and one to shooting. I simplified it and now it works. Thanks for helping.
