Hello, I am wondering how someone would program 2 different buttons on a joystick to tell a motor to go forwards and backwards.

Use an unbundle by name coming out of the joystick get and choose which 2 buttons you would like. Now, using selects specify what values (power wise) you would like to go into the motor based upon which button has a true value.
Good luck.

Yes, I have tried that before, but how do I wire both the selects into one Motor Set Output?

Could you post that picture as a thumbnail or imgur link? My school's hyper-strict web filter won't allow me to see that.

Ah! I have been having some problems with this as well, my team is switching to Labview from C++ this year and I had some problems with it. This cleared it right up!
