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

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.
