We are looking at the sample python code (in vexcode) for split arcade control. The sample code works great, but when printing out the values for the joystick readings (mostly as a learning exercise), we were surprised to see readings outside of the -100 to 100 range. Numbers seemed to reach as high as 9999. Any idea why this would be? We were using:
brain.screen.print(controller_1.axis3.position())
If your doing it correctly it should only return values between -127 and 127.
I thought they changed it to -100 through 100 for v5.
Make sure you are clearing the screen every cycle.
See if using vex::positionunits::pct works (inside the position call)
That should return -100 to 100
Thanks Floub! You were correct that they did change it to -100 through 100, and adding brain.screen.clear_screen() solved the problem.
