There is a new release of the WPI libraries every year, and some times things change in subtle ways. We had one particular joystick with a rotation axis. The first year we used it, that axis mapped to axis 3, and the next year, it mapped to axis 6. We didn't know this changed, and couldn't figure out why things weren't working, until we made a diagnostic program.

Dominick donated code, but you should really go through the exercise of making the same (or similar) program on your own. This will give you more familiarity with LabView, and more importantly experience with getting broken programs working. It won't kill you, and will only make your skill set stronger. Practice makes perfect is very true with any programming environment, language, framework or system.
