Re: button activation for motor

Please describe in detail exactly what you want to do. The more information you give about your goal, the more helpful will be the answers you receive.

What kind of motors? Which way do you want them to turn? Are the motors completely separate, or does the action of one depend on the action of the other? Will you be wiring the motors to a Spike, a Victor, or a Jaguar? Which joystick buttons do you want to use? Do you want them to run only while the buttons are pressed and stop when the buttons are released, or will you have a "start" button and a "stop" button? As you can see, there are a lot of things that will make a difference. Pin them down for us and we can give you plenty of useful advice.
