Programming 2 buttons for a relay

[LatinDrummaBoy]

Hello, Im having some issues with something similar to this. I have 2 relays connected to window motors that are controling the arm movement. They are already inverse from eachother so i dont have to invert it on the code. What im having trouble with is im using the Y-axis on the joystick to control it, and when i push it forward, it works, but if i pull it back, it wont go back. i really need help with this. i keep looking over the code and it seems logical, i guess is some minor detail. I would Post a pictrue of the code but im not able to at the moment. This would help me so much if i could get an example. Team 3518 will greatly apreciate the service.

Are you trying to connect the joystick output directly to the relay input? That's not going to work. The joystick axis provides a value that ranges from -1 to +1. The relay wants a specific enumerated value. I could explain why neutral and forward work while back does not, but that wouldn't really help you. I've attached a picture showing how I would suggest doing it.

If you aren't trying to wire a joystick to a relay with nothing between them, never mind. I'll have to see your code to give any useful advice.
