Purpose
Get the value of an Analog Channel (joystick) on a remote controller connected to the CrcDuino via a CrcConnect module.
When to use
Whenever you need to use the position of a remote controller joystick or triggers.
Where to use
Most probably in the void loop()
part of your .ino
file, since we’d usually want to actively monitor the value.

type. The value returned will range between -128 and 127, proportionally to the position of the joystick or trigger. The returned value will be:
-128
, if the joystickJoystick is at the maximum left position (for x axis channels)
Joystick is at the maximum up position (for y axis channels)
Trigger is fully unpressed
0
, if the joystick/trigger is at the middle position of the axis, or if no connection is established between a remote controller and the CrcDuino (via a CrcConnect Module)127
, if the joystickJoystick is at the maximum right position (for x axis channels)
Joystick is at the maximum down position (for y axis channels)
Trigger is fully pressed

The Logitech F130 and HAVIT controllers do not support analog gestures of the triggers, in contrary to Xbox and PlayStation controllers. On an Xbox or PlayStation controller, the value of GACHETTE_L and GACHETTTE_R will range from -128 (trigger unpressed) to 127 (trigger fully pressed). On the F130 and HAVIT, GACHETTE_L and GACHETTE_R can only take the value -128 (trigger not pressed) or 127 (trigger fully pressed). |

When using a Havit Controller, make sure to press the “ANALOG” button on the remote controller to light up the red LED between the joysticks. Else, the value of the joystick can only be {-128, 0, 127}, instead of [-128, 127]. |
