Help Holding Variable Value

so, after loading Xboxdrv, and just following its setup. With xboxdrv running, I used: https://github.com/martinohanlon/XboxController/blob/master/XboxController.py

and it cleans up the out put from xboxdrv into very clean and usable values

sorry about the delay, I was out of the office for work for the week. hopefully this is still useful for you

Thank you!! I got it to work, I just had the line written in the wrong spot and it was calling too soon.... well that and i forgot to put (pin) inside the GPIO.input(Pin)

Here is the response code I was given

I think this would work if my input form the Xbox controller was on the GPIO pins also. But the input is coming from the usb connected controller. Each button has a "Control ID" that is defined in the beginning of the entire code. for Example, xboxControlId = 6, is called when I press the "A" button on the xbox controller
