We are programming using lab-view and were wondering if it is possible to set a toggle? Also how to program for a motor to go both forward and reverse?
I probably didn’t understand your question but there is no way that a motor can go two ways at the same time.
What kind of toggle do you want to make? Plz give more info.
I don’t understand the questions either. Please put a little more effort into describing what you want to do, so I can be confident that my effort to give answers will be in the right direction.
Here’s a mockup of how I do toggle, as in push a button once to turn on, and push again to turn off. (Don’t have access to real labview right now)

Not sure if there’s a more compact way, but this works. (The blocks with arrows are feedback nodes, and the thing on the left is the button input)
Since the feedback node stores information from a previous iteration, the first part says “button is currently pressed AND last iteration it wasn’t,” meaning the button was just pushed.
The exclusive or part causes it to flip between true and false when the button is pressed, due to its “either but not both” behavior.
Not sure what your second question is, but you can make a motor go forward by supplying a positive output value, and backwards with a negative output value. Switch between values with a case structure or select block.
