Jittery Motor

[Alan Anderson]

I'm smelling a possible software issue. What is the code you're using to control this motor?

    if (joyExtra.getRawButton(4))
    {
        liftup();  
      }
   
    else
    {
         
        liftstop();
  }
     
     if (joyExtra.getRawButton(2))
     {
        liftdown();  
      }
     
    else{
         
        liftstop();
  }

If button 4 is pressed, it starts the lift running up, but then the fact that button 2 is not pressed stops it immediately. You need to change the logic so that button 4 runs the lift up, button 2 runs the lift down, and only if neither button is pressed does the lift get stopped.
