Motor Code Help

[odel]

So this is what I have right now, we plugged the left motors into pwm 1 and the right ones into pwm 2 using pwm splitter, and still no luck

#include "WPILib.h"

class RobotDemo : public SimpleRobot
{
	RobotDrive robotDrive;
	Joystick stick1, stick2;

public:
	RobotDemo(void):
		robotDrive(1,2),	
		stick1(1),		//Joystick 1 in slot 1
		stick2(2)		//Joystick 2 in slot 2
	{
		GetWatchdog().SetExpiration(0.1);
	}

	void Autonomous(void)
	{
		GetWatchdog().SetEnabled(false);
		robotDrive.Drive(0.5, 0.0); 	// drive forwards half speed
		Wait(2.0); 						//    for 2 seconds
		robotDrive.Drive(0.0, 0.0); 	// stop robot
	}

	void OperatorControl(void)
	{
		GetWatchdog().SetEnabled(true);
		while (IsOperatorControl())
		{
			GetWatchdog().Feed();
			robotDrive.TankDrive(stick1,stick2);
			Wait(0.005);				// wait for a motor update time
		}
	}
};

START_ROBOT_CLASS(RobotDemo);

are the joysticks configured correctly on the driverstation?
go to setup tab, and on the right side, drag the joysticks to 1 and 2

Got things working now, thanks for all the help guys!

might i suggest using an ancient technology of split PWM's the go from one port to 2 jaguars or victors. they are extremely helpful.

We may or may not have ended up doing this...
