Controller

Note

For a full list of functions for interacting with the V5 Controller, see its C API and C++ API.

Feedback from the V5 Controller comes in two forms - analog and digital. The analog data comes from the joysticks, and the digital data comes from the buttons.

The analog data is a value in the range of [-127,127], and digital data is either 1 or 0 (pressed or unpressed, respectively).

Analog Data

Retrieve analog values from the V5 Controller in the following manner:

C++
C
opcontrol.cpp

#define MOTOR_PORT 1

void opcontrol() {
  pros::Controller master (E_CONTROLLER_MASTER);
  pros::Motor example_motor (MOTOR_PORT);
  while (true) {
    example_motor = master.get_analog(E_CONTROLLER_ANALOG_LEFT_Y);
    pros::delay(2);
  }
}
opcontrol.c

#define MOTOR_PORT 1

void opcontrol() {
 while (true) {
   motor_move(MOTOR_PORT, controller_get_analog(E_CONTROLLER_MASTER, E_CONTROLLER_ANALOG_LEFT_Y));
   delay(2);
 }
}

The controller returns a range of [-127,127] for analog data, which is why the motor_move function is appropriate for easy use with the controllers.

Digital Data

  pros::Controller master (E_CONTROLLER_MASTER);
  pros::Motor example_motor (MOTOR_PORT);
  while (true) {
    if (master.get_digital(E_CONTROLLER_DIGITAL_A)) {
      example_motor = 127;
    }
    else {
      example_motor = 0;
    }

    pros::delay(2);
  }

   }
   else {
     motor_move(MOTOR_PORT, 0);
   }

   delay(2);
 }
}
