That code still works, you just have to translate it.

This should do what cgmv123 had in Labview, I also added a bit that will have Button 1 control if the motor is On(With output from throttle) or off. Given that you were asking about setting a motor from a button in the first post.

The button VI in the image will be in WPI Robotics Library >Robot Drive>Joysticks.

Also, a neat thing with the image I linked, is that you should be able to drag it into your VI and it should load as code.

He meant the hard drive or the local drive.

Yea that, sorry for that. It wont work if you drag the image from a web browser, but if you drag the file from a folder on your computer, it will.

Hover the cursor over the output node on the Joystick Get that's called "Buttons."
Right-click and choose Cluster, Class, Variant -> Unbundle by name (the first choice)
Place the icon on the block diagram
Wire the empty icon to the button node on the Joystick Get
