Re: how to program shooter on LabVIEW

If you really do want both of the shooter motors to run as a single unit, you can use a "2 motor Drive" for them. But when you save the RefNum, you should give it a name that describes what it is. The "Left and Right Motors" RefNum name is already being used to set the actual drive motors. Make it "Shooter Motors" instead.

But I would open them as two separate motors instead of a "Drive" pair. If I wanted them to always run at the same speed, I would actually open them as a single motor and use a PWM Y cable to send one control signal to two speed controllers at the same time.
