OK, I'm not new at the programming thing but I seem to be having one of those problems that I believe should have a simple solution. Long story short, our robot has a roller on the front. I want buttons 4, 3, and 5 on the Joystick attached to USB port 3 on the DS to control Reverse, Stop, and Forward respectively. I'm extending the IterativeRobot Class for this code. This is what I have so far:

// These lines are in the declaration
Joystick* m_rollerStick;        // joystick 3 (roller)
Victor *m_roller;
int m_rollerCondition;

// These lines are in the constructor
m_roller = new Victor(4,3);
m_rollerStick = new Joystick(3);
m_rollerCondition = 0;

//These lines are in TelopPeriodic()
.
.
.
if (m_ds->GetPacketNumber() != m_priorPacketNumber) {
.
.
.
// Roller Control
if(m_rollerStick->GetRawButton(4)) m_rollerCondition = -1;
if(m_rollerStick->GetRawButton(5)) m_rollerCondition = 1;
if(m_rollerStick->GetRawButton(3)) m_rollerCondition = 0;

switch (m_rollerCondition)
    {
        case -1:
            m_roller->Set(-1);
            break;
        case 1:
                m_roller->Set(1);
                break;
        case 0:
            default:
                m_roller->Set(0);
                break;
    }
.
.
.
}

I think that I've pasted all of the pertinent code here so I don't have to copy & paste (or upload) the entire file here.

By the way, I've also tried using the Joystick::GetY() function to just output the Y axis on the Joystick directly to the Victor::Set() like this

m_roller->Set(m_rollerStick->GetY());

However that just caused our roller to run at a forward speed just outside of the deadband. Also, I'm pretty sure that this is a programming issue since Im able to use the m_roller->Set() and m_roller->SetRaw() functions to run the roller.

Thank you all for any help that you can provide for me.
