Hi just wondering how to go about getting the second joystick to make a pwm go up or down, and the trigger and thumb buttons work as relays.

thanks,

It's already there. Joystick one controls PWM1, Joystick 2 PWM2, etc. through 4. Similarly, the buttons are already programmed to the relays. I think the trigger on joystick one sends relay one forward, and the thumbswitch sends relay one reverse...but that might be backwards.

Good Luck,

All this information can be found in the Control System Users Manual available on the Innovation First WWWeb site (Link below).

The default PWM controls are listed on page 27, and the relay controls are on page 28.
