: 1) Can the Van Door motor be run from a toggle switch? It requries a speed controller, correct?

Speed Controller, Speed Controller, Speed Controller

: 2) When wiring in the pneumatic pump, do we run direct 12V power to the compressor, and then connect spike to the solenoids? Where does the pressure switch come into play?

NOTHING IS WIRED DIRECT TO THE BATTERY EXCEPT THE 60A BREAKER!

Wire the compressor to the spike. wire the pressure switch to the robot controller (digital input). Write some code (see my post on compressor help).


: 3) Can both the globe & window motors be run from toggle switches & spikes?

Forget toggle switches. Use Victors or Spikes.

: 4) Is it possible for the trigger of joystick one and the trigger of joystick two to control the same motor? (IE, so left joystick rotates left, right joystick rotates right) Can you give (at least a hint/start) to the PBASIC code necessary to do this?

YES


PWM1 = 127
if p1_trigger_switch 1 then CHECK_P2
PWM1 = 254
goto JUMP1

CHECK_P2:
if p2_trigger_switch 1 then JUMP1
PWM1 = 0

JUMP1:
