It doesn't have an angle, it has two axes (per stick), an x and a y axis.

No, I have a Xbox 360 controller.

You wouldn't read the analogs as an angle, unless your talking about which direction your pushing the analog stick in.
If that's the case you could do something like this:

Code: Select all

math.atan2((deadzone.y - current_position.y), (deadzone.x - current_position.x))

deadzone is the neutral point that the analog rests at.
current_position is the read you get from the analog. If it's in the deadzone then deadzone and current_position will cancel out.
Hope I helped

I'm not quite sure how you think they work, but they work like I said it. If you want an angle, you'd better calculate it yourself.
