Adding extra motors to joysticks
 

:confused: We are trying to use two joysticks to control our robot. We have a tank drive and are trying to program an extra motor on each joystick, this is what we have so far but we dont know what to do next.

You need to decide what control you want the drivers to use in turning those motors on and off.

Maybe a third joystick, or buttons, or something.
Then you can wire those controls in.

I want to have them on buttons 2 and 3 of the joystick, but i dont know how to add them to the existing joysticks which control the tankdrive.

One speed?
Both motors run together, so they share a common button?

Hold button = on; release button = off?
or
Press one button for on and another for off
or
toggle a single button so first press=on; second press = off; rinse & repeat
