Programming 2 buttons for a relay

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.
