Joystick Button One-Shot (a.k.a. Rising Edge) Detection

Is there anyway to use a limit switch to stop a motor and then be able to restart with Joystick?

Do you mean to use the joystick to move the motor in the opposite direction, away from the limit? That's easy. Just have the limit switch keep the motor control value from going less* than zero.

Or do you mean to use the joystick to cause the motor to ignore the limit and go past it? You can do it, but it goes against the usual purpose of a limit switch, and I'd have to know more about the system before giving any advice.

(* or greater, depending on wiring)
