labview adding button from joystick

[team4372]

Hello I am having a issues with adding a button into labview 2013. This is what i got so far in the programming I have no idea if this is even right thanks.

Assuming you initialized the joystick in the begin vi (it is if you didn't modify the default code), it looks ok.

It looks like you are checking button 1 of the joystick. If it is true (ie pressed) you stop the motor, else false you pass the values from the axis to your motor.

Precisely.Well the button works in the simulator and the motor stops but nothing is moving. Basically its for our launcher press button 1 and the 2 motor start and the drive motors stop.

It looks like you have the "drive motors stop" part, but you are missing "the 2 motor start" part.
