Column Output/Function/USB ?

[larry nelson]

What does the USB column do for the following N,S,W,E in the example below? I'm not understanding what the N,S,W,E do on the controller.

dpad_N	normal	N								Weapon Cross Up
dpad_NE	normal	NE
dpad_E	normal	E								Weapon Cross Right
dpad_SE	normal	SE
dpad_S	normal	S								Weapon Cross Down
dpad_SW	normal	SW
dpad_W	normal	W								Weapon Cross Left

Can I achieve the same thing with the following so I don't have to switch to another sheet.

dpad_N	greater_than 50	up								Weapon Cross Up
dpad_NE	normal	NE
dpad_E	greater_than 50	right								Weapon Cross Right
dpad_SE	normal	SE
dpad_S	greater_than 50	down								Weapon Cross Down
dpad_SW	normal	SW
dpad_W	greater_than 50	left								Weapon Cross Left

Yes, you can use greater_than instead of N(orth), etc.  

The details of the cardinal and ordinal directional inputs is in here:  https://quadstick.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/user_manual/um/joystick.htm

Most games that use d-pad outputs only use four directions, but some use eight so you need a way to isolate those diagonal directions and not trigger the up/down/left/right directions.

The "channel" selection directs the outputs to either the USB, Bluetooth, or both, connections.  https://quadstick.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/user_manual/um/usb_bluetooth_channel_selection.htm
