4 Motors 2 Tank Drives

[jenishida]

Obviously, we are having a problem with controlling our four motors with four joysticks and two tank drives. Whenever we set up all four motors we find that joystick one controls motor one, while joystick four controls motor two. And none of our joysticks control motors two and three. Any suggestions?

Look at the Diagnostics tab of the DS to see if any errors are posted about using joysticks that haven't been opened. You can also look at the diagnostics tab to see how many joysticks the DS recognizes and when you click a button on a joystick, the list changes color to identify it. You may need to reorder the list.

Thanks Greg for that! It really helped, when we checked to see that it was our problem

Four motors and four joysticks? I hope you have an octopus for a driver

I assume, at this point you are just debugging...
