  • Gamepad Simulator block

Description

Get the simulation value of a VEX gamepad. The block is applicable for simulation purposes only. The values returned are analog values in the range –127 to 127 for the first four output ports, and logical values for the remaining 12 output ports. The first four ports correspond to the four control axes on the joysticks. The remaining 12 ports correspond to the 12 buttons on the VEX gamepad. The Logitech Gamepad F310 buttons corresponding to the Gamepad Simulator ports (1–8) are as shown.

Before simulating a model containing this block, you must connect a Gamepad F310 or an XBOX gamepad to your computer. During simulation, use the attached gamepad to provide simulation input to your Simulink model.

Note

Ensure that the input mode switch on the backside of the Gamepad F310 device is in position D for the block to function correctly. For more information about the input mode switch on Gamepad F310, see https://support.logi.com/hc/.

During code generation, the Gamepad Simulator block is ignored and has no effect on the generated code.
