Programming the Elegoo – Waterloo Wellington FIRST

The function ‘getButton’ returns true or false based on whether a given button is pressed or not. So which numerical value corresponds to each button on the joystick?

We are planning to document that. The version of DriverStation that was uploaded last week maps the buttons according to the following diagram: https://w3c.github.io/gamepad/standard_gamepad.svg.

The analog values are mapped a little differently than the diagram. We decided that it makes more sense to have the “forward” direction be positive and “backwards” to be negative (which is opposite the default).

Note: the new version works for Linux & Windows. Mapping for Chromebook will be added soon.

In the current state the DuinoApp is not showing the “Attempt” messages, so it continues trying without giving up. Do you know how to stop it? Closing the serial window doesn’t seem to help either.

Closing Chrome or closing the DuinoApp Tab, should break the connection to the compile server.

I can’t figure out how to connect using duinoapp.wwfirst.ca

We have a workshop available on our resources webpage under workshops/Programming/Elegoo/Start Here. It provides basic information about how to connect to your Elegoo from our WWFIRST DuinoApp server.

How do I set up the Arduino IDE via WiFi on Linux?

The Windows extension is documented on the resources webpage and requires the following archive https://elegoo.wwfirst.ca/Elegoo-hardware.zip.

For Linux there is a new hardware support package available at https://elegoo.wwfirst.ca/Elegoo-hardware-linux.zip. Move the hardware folder to your “Home”/Arduino/hardware folder.
