Buttons programming

[Da Kid]

could anyone show a full picture of a program that can run buttons? preferably one that runs 1 motor with 2 buttons?

[Alan Anderson]

Please be a little more specific. The phrase "runs 1 motor with 2 buttons" could mean many things, and I'd rather not guess at which one you intend. Describe exactly what you want to happen, and I'm sure I can help you find a way to do it.

[Da Kid]

We want one button to make a motor go forward when pressed and another button to make the same motor go in reverse when pressed.

[Mark McLeod]

Is the motor stopped when no button is being pressed?

[Da Kid]

yes

[Alan Anderson]

What kind of motor? If it's not a CIM or FP, and if you always want to run it at full speed when it's active, you might want to control it using a Spike relay instead of a Jaguar or Victor speed controller.

And what do you want the motor to do when both buttons are pressed?

[Da Kid]

it would be a cim motor and both buttons wouldn't be pressed at the same time. we're using it for our kicker.
