Re: No clue where to start on Programming...

I have done the whole "Build" through the Build Specifications part of the Project Viewer. Deploying the code to the cRIO is when you press the arrow in the upper left hand of the screen that points right. This transfers all programmed code onto the cRIO ready for use on the cRIO and Driver Station. It is also known as "Run."

Option two might not have worked for this reason, and I think I hit a breakthrough.

I used the same refnum function blocks and everything, however this was only under the Begin.vi Block. I had never taken into account that the Teleop.vi is I guess for lack of a better word, the "control station" of programming. I looked under the Teleop.vi block, and I found a pathway I would call it where would show Left and Right Motors ---> Drive RefNum Get ---> Drive Arcade Drive. Along with that, the joystick information is also directed INTO the Drive Arcade Drive.

Now, I THINK that because I never made a replicate of this path, motors 3 and 4 had nothing "controlling" them. No joystick function, no Drive RefNum Get. Nothing.

However being that I am home now, I cannot "test" my theory for the time being.

Any schematics, drawings, anything involving LabVIEW and how to wire up ADDITIONAL motors would be so helpful!

Looking forward to all responses,
