Running Robot

[Mark McLeod]

Check that your motor controllers for the left side are connected with a PWM cable to the roboRIO PWM 0 port, while the right side motor controller is connected to PWM 1. If you have two motors per side then use a PWM splitter on each side.
The default code assumes one motor per side and the left side motor controller connected to PWM 0 on the roboRIO, the right side motor controller connected to PWM 1.

The default project described in screensteps should just work.
The joystick will be in arcade mode y-axis is forward and back, x-axis causes turns.

P.S.
I should have asked what the status lights are doing on your motor controllers (and which model motor controllers you are using-white Spark ones?)?

Also, how would I write a basic code in labview so that I can use the joystick in the KOP?

Have you done this yet:

IMHO: Make sure you can deploy code and have it run ("hello world" type program). Then you can figure out how to get input (joystick) and drive motors. I don't know Labview, but I assume you need to define the USB Joystick before you can start using it in your code. I believe there is a default joystick type drive that you can use to connect the joystick to your drive motors (which you also may need to define).
