The simplest method of programming a shifting gearbox is to map one button on the joystick or game pad to control the shifting pneumatic cylinder, and hen do tank or arcade drive as desired.

In this case, the CIM motors are programmed exactly the same as a regular single speed gearbox. Then program your desired trigger button on the joystick to control the solenoid. Drive without the button pressed, and it is in low gear. Press and hold the trigger button, it shifts to high gear.
