Victor 888 motor controllers??

Can you Program Two Victor 888 motor controllers To a Button On The Joystick

Yes, or use a pwm Y cable.

Thank and is there any kind of way for us to change the speed of our motor using the Dial on our Controller Attack 3 Joystick (fc13-123)

victor.set((joystick.getZ() + 1)/2);

in Java/C++.

That code still works, you just have to translate it.

This should do what cgmv123 had in Labview, I also added a bit that will have Button 1 control if the motor is On(With output from throttle) or off. Given that you were asking about setting a motor from a button in the first post.

where do you go to,to find the button vi to program the 888 motor controllers ?

[Nirvash]

The button VI in the image will be in WPI Robotics Library >Robot Drive>Joysticks.

Also, a neat thing with the image I linked, is that you should be able to drag it into your VI and it should load as code.

[Reggie335]

now i just did that and its not turning into code :/

[Nirvash]

Huh, that is odd, did you save the file to disk first?

[Reggie335]

nope, but the computer i'm using doesn't have a disk drive

He meant the hard drive or the local drive.
