Thud, Thud, - Help with N64 controller.

Oldbitcollector (Jeff)

That was the sound my my head banging against the desk..

I'm attempting to read the N64 controller using the driver in OBEX.
It has a nice demo which displays in the text driver, but for the life
of me I can't seem to read it with an if statement.

I've tried variations on a theme without success...

  if num.dec(N64.R)> 0 'Nintendo64 R = Start
      joy_bits := %00010000     

  if num.bin(N64.ST,1) ==1  'Nintendo64 Start = Start
      joy_bits := %00010000 

Has anyone here worked with this?

Thanks
OBC

I wrote that driver and the buttons return 1 for pressed and 0 for unpressed, it looks like you are using the return value from num.bin() rather than the N64.st for your if statements

Duh! Thanks, that got my head screwed on straight!

I've submitted a gamepad_drv_001 which uses your driver to obex.
Thanks for the help!
