Here ill get you going on a simple code.

first thing under your public class put

Joystick joystick1;
Victor motor1;

Under that line put:

public void robotInit {

joystick1 = new Joystick(1);

motor1 = new Victor(1) // the one can be replaced with any PWM port on sidecar.

NOTE: You will have to import the Victor class and Joystick class. you can do this by adding this above your public class:

import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.Victor;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.Joystick;

After that just simply put this in your operator control

while(isOperatorControl) {

motor1.set(joystick1.getY()); // gets the val from joystick and converts to pwm

}

Yes i do know that you are using Jaguars not Victors but the coding for the two on pwm is practically the same and should get you going good. I suggest your team looks in to using CAN it has so many nice features.
