Hey everybody,
During this year and last year we have been trying to use dual joystick control so we would be more maneuverable and would have an easier time controlling our robot. Four years ago we were able to pull it off but now it wont work. We have done everything we can think of but each time we try to do it the normal controller works fine and the partner joystick just flashes it’s power light. If anyone has a solution please let me know.
Thanks
A flashing power light on the joystick is normal operation (primary flashes fast, partner flashes slowly), have you tried writing some code to use it? You can access the partner joystick in ROBOTC by appending Xmtr2 to the channel you want to use like this.
int a, b;
task main()
{
while(1) {
// primary joystick
a = vexRT Ch2 ];
// partner joystick
b = vexRT Ch2Xmtr2 ];
wait1Msec(10);
}
}
