How to use a fifth drive motor with RobotPy?

[x86_4819]

To do this you will need to do the following:

Initialize the new motor controller object in robotInit():

self.slide_motor = wpilib.Talon(INSERT_PORT_NUMBER_HERE)

If your motor controller is something other than a Talon, you will need to adjust accordingly.

Use the x-axis of the Joystick to control the motor in teleopPeriodic():

self.slide_motor.set(self.joystick.getX())

I hope this works for you!
