XBox 360 triggers

[ahudson]

New programmer with new LabView. We need to program a gearbox to go one direction by pushing a trigger button and reverse the direction with the other trigger button. We have not gotten anywhere with our attempts. Any help?

Here's a generic example of driving a motor by button.

The xBox right/left triggers though are actually treated as axis 2 & 3, so you'd need a variation.
The Left and right triggers produce a floating point number from 0.0-1.0
So give yourself a little wiggle space and replace the button feeds in the example with the checks:Axis 2 > .1 (or .5)
Axis 3 > .1

So something like this:

Thank you, Mark! We are now running all three motors!
