Black motor? That's a CIM, MiniCIM, or BAG motor. Those are only allowed to be controlled by Jaguar, Talon, or Victor speed controllers. You may not connect them to a relay.

You wouldn't be able to control the speed using a relay anyway; they'd be either off, full speed forward, or full speed reverse.

I think you want to use a gamepad or joystick button to switch back and forth between two states. State one has the motor running full speed forward, and state two has the motor running slowly backward. Is that right? The LabVIEW code for doing it is simple, but I want to make sure I have your requirements straight before walking you through doing it.
