Joystick Problem... very odd.

[matthewdenny]

In our LabView program we have a tank drive. When we set the power of the drive to a constant number (1.0), the motors work great. When we change the input from a constant to the joystick axis, and deploy... nothing. We see the joysticks on the classmate, and they turn blue when buttons are pressed, but they won't control the motors. Any ideas why?

Why did you post this in the Electrical subforum? If the motors work when you use constants, it's most likely not an electrical problem with the motors. If the joystick names flash blue when you press a button, it's most likely not an electrical problem with the joysticks.

If you showed us your code, we could probably help.
