Oh the code..........

Since we are waiting on parts from the 3D printer, its time to finally get the code in order. We made some strides today with a new library utilizing the RF transmitter along with some help from Professor Sullivan, but there are still some serious issues. The code below takes the L/R and U/D joystick inputs and mashes them together using one number (xPos*10000+yPos). The problem here is that when xPos goes to 0, we are left with a string just containing the yPos. We would like to find a way to use 0's as place holders for the unused x values, but we still have to figure out how to split the number into two variables on the receiving end.
This is what the receiving data looks like:

Until next time......
