Hi Community,
I am also new using arduiono and I would like to control actuators with a joystick.
I have used the code whish was used here too. I have deleted the drift part, because I thought that my problem comes from this, but it seems not. My problem is, as soon as the program is running, I can see on the seriell monitor the following information:
Start
4073954033943993923953913913913873903833893803883763863733853713833683813673783653763643733633703623393353393313403290
960
0
X: 00000 Y: 96003C0 Hat Switch: 707 Twist: 000 Slider: 000 Buttons A: 000 Buttons B: 000
016803383283363283333273303283273293243293213303193303173293153283143273143253143233143203153183163153
From my understanding x,y, Hat Switch, Twist, Slider, Buttons A, Buttons B will change their values when
I use the joystick to give input.
What I dont understand what are the long numbers, e.g. directly under start. I was trying a lot within the last month, but I havent found a solution.
Please, can somebody explain me the numbers?
Many thanks for your support.
