This is just a very simple example of how you can use LabVIEW to readjoystick information ( and perform actions based on the input). In this
case I used Play Station 2 controler but any joystick can be used.
This is source code for LabVIEW ver 2009
JoystickExample.vi
Same source file for LabVIEW version 8.5
JoystickExample-ver85.vi
Screen shot of the code ( diagram) is located here
LabVIEW does come with an example as well located here ( in your dev environment)

Great just what I needed and now even with pictures. Gotta play on Monday when getting back to office due my gamepad is there :)
Now we just need to figure best way to send this info to our quads...

This is a present problem i am having. Having written a complete Gimbal control system in 8.5 just upgraded to 9...and LV will NOT under win7 see any of the gamepads (2....1 for gimbal, 1 for airframe & systems control)
Is there a different code mechanism to see the gamepads/joysticks?
Very cool bit of you have posted though,.....going to try it in 9 see what happens for me..but if i cant get it to work...then all my gimbal control system is wasted unless i re-write to 9.
thoughts?
