How to Invert the motors?/ Programming joystick Buttons? LabVIEW

First, your left motor PWM and right motor PWM are reversed. Swap PWM 1 and 2.
Second, your, the polarity of your motors are reversed. You can change the Robot Drive inverted booleans in begin.

Thanks, we are tried to change the PWM cables on the robot, and the PWM in the actual program. We found out that the robot isn't receiving the edited program.

Only change one of them. Make the wires match the program. If you swap both the wires and the program definitions, it will have the same effect as doing neither.

What do you mean? How are you trying to send the program to the robot, what do you expect to happen, and what is happening instead?

I had a similar problem loading code. In LabView, there are 2 ways to load and run your code. From robotmain.vi, you can click the run button to send your code to your robot in interpreted/connected mode(you run connected to your front panel actively). As soon as you lose power, though, that running code is dropped. This mode is great for debugging. To make your code stay on the cRIO, you must build a Real-Time application(.rtexe) out of your code. To do this, expand the tab that says "Build Specifications" under "RT CompactRIO Target(10.xx.yy.2)". There should be node that says "FRC Robot Boot-up Deployment" Right click and select "build". It will take several minutes to compile the code. When it is done, right click and select deploy. When that is done, either reboot your cRIO or cycle the power. Your code will now be persistent.
