Joystick programming issues

I used the base code provided by ROBOTC for Dual Joysticks, and I modified it a little in order to represent a couple of different things. I tried compiling it and it didn't work and I've reviewed it so many times but I cannot see anything wrong with it. I've attached it, but since I have a mac, I cannot change the note section without keeping the code in pattern, so some of it may seem odd, but the actual code is correct and the note section is changed elsewhere that I cannot reach.

Re: Joystick programming issues

To make it compile, remove the { after the two joystick lines, and remove one of the } at the end

However... to make it work:
a) remove that same {} pair, also remove the second "while(true) {" and another } at the end...
b) the joy1btn() function now returns true or false, so no need for an ==, (and I don't think it ever returned a 3?)
c) (cosmetic) when you put it all in one loop, (a above) you've got an extra getjoystick
d) (cosmetic) if you are only doing one thing for an if(), you don't need {}...

Portion of your code:


	Code: while (true) { getJoystickSettings(joystick); motor[motorD] = -joystick.joy1_y2; motor[motorE] = joystick.joy1_y1; { while(true) { getJoystickSettings(joystick); // Update Buttons and Joysticks if(joy1Btn(3) == 3) // If Joy1-Button1 is pressed: { motor[motorF] = 10; // Turn Motor A On at full power } else // If Joy1-Button1 is NOT pressed: { motor[motorF] = 0; // Turn Motor A Off } } } }

should probably be


	Code: while (true) { getJoystickSettings(joystick); motor[motorD] = -joystick.joy1_y2; motor[motorE] = joystick.joy1_y1; if(joy1Btn(3)) // If Joy1-Button3 is pressed: motor[motorF] = 10; // Turn Motor F On at 10% power else // If Joy1-Button3 is NOT pressed: motor[motorF] = 0; // Turn Motor F Off }
