Question about wiring a joystick to a Victor
It is end of September 2010, and my FRC team (1178) is looking to make a new cart. It will have a pneumatic forklift and be motorized by older robot control parts.
My first question is: Using the joysticks from 2008, can I wire the joystick to two Victor 884's without having to use an old robot control board/ Operator interface? We want the cart to contain all the wires, and not have any wireless system, so we can use the cart at competitions, and preferably, not have to program anything. Any suggestions would be helpful.
My second question is: Can wire the solenoids to a joystick to have them fire in one direction, hold that position, and then press the button again and have them fire in the reverse direction. Again, we would like to not have to do any programming.
If anyone has already posted this, sorry, could you redirect to their?
