The same code linked in this also appears to be unable to read the IME values unless the cotext is completely rebooted between code updates. I created global variables to track read values that are only in sync on when cortext is rebooted. IME values appear correct in sensor and motor debug windows, the code just loses the ability to “read” them. Interesting discovery… copying the function from the getbuttons include code directly into code appears to be a work around.
