Labview Joystick Buttons...

[IceStorm]

Were trying to do something very similar but with out the relay.

We want to have a button that on one press it turns on our traction control code, and when you press the button again it turns off our traction control code and turns on our manual speed control code. we have our two pieces of code in a case structure where true is traction control and false is manual speed control. we then wired this to a joystick button and it works other than you have to continue to hold the button down to get it to stay engaged.

is there an easy way to make the joystick buttons into on/off buttons rather than momentary buttons.

So it sounds like you're trying to turn it into a button that toggles from on to off (and the other way around) when you press it? If so you can check out the VI posted in THIS THREAD. (I know you said you don't want to use relays, but it will give a a general direction as far as how to set up the case structures)

TotalChaos,

Yup. That is exactly what we are trying to do. we want to take the momentary button and make it a toggle. i opened that vi and it looks like what i need i just need to pull out the extra items for the buttons 2 and 3.

Thanks.
