Team 996 in need of help

[996rookie]

This year, our team is very scrapped for members. So I have volunteered for programming. The problem? I am a freshman, and this is my first year at doing anything related to robotics. I found a skeleton program in LabVIEW, like a starter program, to try to get the hang of it. Our problem is that it is not working, and since I am new at this, failure analysis is almost nonexistent. All our hardware is correctly set up,(that is something we know how to do), and everything is communicating properly. I'm even getting readings from the joysticks on the driver station. But when I move our joysticks, nothing happens. I used this PDF - https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-14723 - to try to get a handle on things. I followed it exactly, and things still aren't working.

Can anyone tell me what might be going wrong? Thanks!
