Why is my Oculus touch controller button state 0?

Hey I just started trying to get output from the Oculus touch controller buttons, analog sticks, and triggers in Unity 5.5.0f3. I made a c# script to modify position and rotation of a cube with the touch controllers and output button status to the console.

 public class PlayerControllers : MonoBehaviour {
        public GameObject rController;

	    // Use this for initialization
	    void Start () {
		
	    }
	
	    // Update is called once per frame
	    void Update () {
            rController.transform.localPosition = OVRInput.GetLocalControllerPosition(OVRInput.Controller.RTouch);
            rController.transform.localRotation = OVRInput.GetLocalControllerRotation(OVRInput.Controller.RTouch);

            Debug.Log(OVRInput.Get(OVRInput.Axis1D.SecondaryIndexTrigger));

        }

The script is attached to an empty in the scene of which the camera/headset and cube are both children. The rotation and position of the cube changes and works as expected but the button press just reads 0 constantly.

I have also tried it with button presses as well and I just get False the whole time.

There was a test input scene that I found here and when I went to open that scene. I received the following prompt.

I assume that when they say different setup they mean a different version of Unity.

So is there some setting somewhere I need to change? Some asset I need to import that I have not or is it the version of unity.

Side Note: The Oculus headset works and tracks fine in the scene, it’s just the buttons that I can’t get for some reason.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

I don’t know whether you still need an answer, but the oculus touch controllers only start working from a certain version of unity on. To test whether the controllers can work in your Unity3D version you can use this method Unity - Scripting API: Input.GetJoystickNames to check whether unity can find the oculus touch controllers. If you have a correct Unity version you should find the oculus remote and touch controller L and R in the output of GetJoystickNames. If they are not in the output of that function, you need to update Unity.
