Correct, the orange wire coming out of each block that says "axis 2(y)" should pass through the false case instead of over the case block.

after going through the case block, does it go to the tank drive vi

Oops, looks like a forgot to ask something on my first pass.

Do you want both motors to run at 1/2 speed by pushing one trigger (button 1)?

Or do you want each side to run at 1/2 speed when the trigger is pressed on that sides joystick?

The second one is what the code currently does. So ,for example, if the left trigger is pressed the left side will run at a constant .5 and the right side will still run according to the joystick. If both triggers are pressed, both sides will run at constant speed.

Is that what you wanted?

wanted to both joysticks pressed for half speed. So does the second pic look okay.

Yes, if you want each joystick and button #1 to control each side separately I believe the fixed code is correct.

[zip100]

so i do not have to put in axis (y) in the true, only in the false. Also only one end is go9ng to the case structure of the constant. Does that look okay.

Correct, when the button is pressed (true case) you want the motor to run at a constant speed so you do not need the joystick value.

The constant originates in the case so it only goes out, no need for anything to come in.

Thank you for the help, will test out tomorrow and reply on how it went.

If you need additional assistance and would like something more real-time, you can use the AIM, MSN, or Yahoo Messenger info in my profile or contact me on Gtalk (My gmail address is the same as my username here).

I'm not sure if I'm heading out to our shop tomorrow or not, so I may or may not be available by the above methods tomorrow afternoon/evening.

I tried the revised code but it shows error on build process of a broken vi.
Can I get a second opinion? Also the Ethernet cable going from the classmate will not click into the Ethernet port of the classmate it just falls out. Anyone else having these problems

Could be the floating multiply block on the left side of the picture.

You can click the broken grey arrow at the top of the block diagram and it will pull up a list of errors. Double clicking on an error in the list will highlight the offending VI.
