I added a deadband from -10 to 10 on both the X and Y axis and now it is perfect! Now I am trying to figure out configurable speeds with motors via buttons. Ex: Pressing button 1 sets a boolean value to true or false which dictates a variable to be set to 1 or 10 which is used to divide the motor power. However, switching the boolean values is not working. Suggestions?
