Buttons and Pneumatics Help

[huskyrobotics]

Hi, I'm the lead (student) programmer for team 848. We have had no formal LabVIEW training, but we are pushing through.

Now we've run into another problem. We have a Pneumatics System where 1 Air Compressor feeds 4 Pneumatic (Air tank)Solenoids that are Physically attached to 8 Spike Relays. Those are all the physical connections that we have.

Now for my job. We want the first Solenoid to raise and lower while we then use the other 3 Solenoids to dump in 1 of 3 (forward/right/left) directions. I need every one of the functions that I mentioned above to be mapped and controlled to/from one joystick in USB port 3. This Joystick will be our "buttons" joystick and no axis control will be assigned to this joystick. Thia is where we encounter problems, and thus I turn to you guys. Any visual aids or advice or directions are greatly appreciated. Thank you guys so much.
