Multiple Inputs for a Motor

[heya101]

So our team wanted a backup system for our shooter which would be controlled by the throttle(knob) on the joystick. I can wire this up fine, but I'm wondering how I'd incorporate the code for when I want the shooter to set its speed automatically by the distance, since the motors would then receive two conflicting inputs.

Say the throttle is set at 0 speed, but I press the button for the automatic shooting, saying we need about .5 speed to get in the basket, how would I have the code make this override the throttle input?

The button selects either the "button speed" or the "non-button speed".

Just copy and paste this into wherever. Wire up your auto-shooter speed to BOTTOM (I did this too quickly), and manual speed control to TOP. That way, when button is pressed, the Auto Speed control is overridden.

You're fast, Ether!

Thanks a lot, was exactly what I was looking for.
