Trying to program joystick buttons

[Team 3883 Lead]

Hi this is Rookie Team 3883.

I am trying to program a double solenoid to either a) two different buttons, for extend / retract or B) program it so if I push the button, say to extend an actuator, an accidental press of the button in rapid sucesion wont cause it to retract... i.e. ... trying to prevent a false double triggering of the solenoid.

Our lift arm folds like a back hoe..... don't want to refold it, and also looking at control of the manipulator claw actuator.

We'll learn LabView, but it's kickin our buts right now.

Thanks.
