as in
Code:
Jaguar myJag(1);
Joystick myStick(1);

myJag.Set(myStick.GetY());
But it appears that it doesn't do anything, and I'm pretty sure I'm specifying the correct ports.
Simple troubleshooting because A) I don't have access to a robot to see if we are having the same issue and B) I'm pretty sure I ran into this last year, but I don't remember how or even if we fixed it.

Joystick Port is determined by the driver station. Make sure the joystick is setup to be in the port you specify. This is done on the setup tab of the driver station.

I believe you can write the value of the axis to a float and then use it on a later line, and see if that does anything.
