Re: Programming Motor

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do with the motors, but I can tell you this:

With how you have it set up right now, the Motor Get Output is unnecessary. This subVI would only be used if you need to see what speed the motor is running at, but not to set it. To get the motors to run you only need to use the Motor Set Output.

Also, if you are using one of the joysticks from the Kit of Parts to run arcade drive, you should have axis 1 connected to the x-axis node of arcade drive, and axis 2 should be connected to the y-axis node of arcade drive (instead of axis 3).

I hope this helps, good luck with your robot. If you have any other questions about LabView, feel free to ask.
