Tank Drive Troubles

[Nicandy]

well then can i use two arcade drives? or one tank and one arcade drive?
because i need the one joystick to be able to control the arm, and one to control the driving.

You could, but that's not the way it was intended to be used.

Use the Arcade Drive VI to control the driving.

Don't use Arcade or Tank Vis to control non-drivetrain motors. See this post.

The arcade drive VI takes one joystick input, IIRC. Maybe an X and a Y input. Either way, they come from the same joystick.

Arcade Drive takes 2 joystick inputs.

That's the way it's usually done, but it's not required. The 2 inputs could come from 2 different joysticks.
