XboxController

class wpilib.XboxController(port: int)

Bases: GenericHID

Handle input from Xbox 360 or Xbox One controllers connected to the Driver Station.

This class handles Xbox input that comes from the Driver Station. Each time a value is requested the most recent value is returned. There is a single class instance for each controller and the mapping of ports to hardware buttons depends on the code in the Driver Station.

Construct an instance of an Xbox controller.

The controller index is the USB port on the Driver Station.

Parameters:

port – The port on the Driver Station that the controller is plugged into (0-5).
