I’m trying to use a PS2 controller to turn the pins on on my botboard2. I’ve gotten the code to see the outputs in the terminal window but can’t figure out how to use those outputs to cange the condition of the board pins. Any help is appriciated! 
Could you send us a bit of your code please?
low 1
high 3
Ican see my controller when i hook it up and connect on the terminal 1. I’d like to be able to press the D-pad up and turn on P0.
here it is:

You would want to replace this portion of the code with code specific to what you are trying to do. My first hint would to replace the variable name temp with something more meaningfull. For example something like: DualShock or maybe PS2Data.
I am not sure of which is the D-pad up. But for example you wish to use the R1 button. Then you might have code in there like:
[code] if (DualShock(2).bit3 = 0) then ;R1 Button test
high p0
elseif (DualShock(2).bit2 = 0) ;L1 Button test
…
goto main
[/code]
Note, one you get something like this to work, you may not want it to keep repeating this after each iteration of reading the Ps2 port. You could either save away the previous state and only do this if the state changes. you could also use a timer and only do repeats every so oftern. But this may be beyond your question.
I hope this helps

Thanks I’ll try this when i get home tonight. So what i’m going to try is make it read the bit output in the index right? 
Also do i just erase all of the code or do i keep the seout portion and try to aim it at the p0?
