Re: One side of drivetrain not working properly
Unplug the joysticks and plug them back in.
When you plug in a joystick, it re-calibrates itself to zero where it is when you plug it in. If you leave a gamepad upside down and plug it in, and it is resting on the stick, then when you pick it up and it spring returns to center it will have learned an incorrect zero point and will now be holding a nonzero value at what should be zero.
In LabVIEW, if you hit the Run button in code and wait for it to deploy, you can click on a wire to view the value of that wire in a probe watch window. That can be helpful for finding where numbers come from in more complex code.

YES! I am a MENTOR. Not a chaperone. I am busy all day, I don't want to deal with the stupidity that may or may not go on at night. Besides, I might see something as a cool physics experiment, where a chaperone might see someone dropping pop cans down the stair wells. - Not2B [more]
