Can you Program Two Victor 888 motor controllers To a Button On The Joystick

2

Yes, or use a pwm Y cable.

Thank and is there any kind of way for us to change the speed of our motor using the Dial on our Controller Attack 3 Joystick (fc13-123)

4

victor.set((joystick.getZ() + 1)/2);

in Java/C++.

5

My Team use LabView

That code still works, you just have to translate it.

7

Can you tell me how to do that???

8

This should do what cgmv123 had in Labview, I also added a bit that will have Button 1 control if the motor is On(With output from throttle) or off. Given that you were asking about setting a motor from a button in the first post.

Thank For The Help.:smiley:

10

where do you go to,to find the button vi to program the 888 motor controllers ?

11

The button VI in the image will be in WPI Robotics Library >Robot Drive>Joysticks.

Also, a neat thing with the image I linked, is that you should be able to drag it into your VI and it should load as code.

12

now i just did that and its not turning into code :confused:

13

Huh, that is odd, did you save the file to disk first?

14

nope, but the computer i’m using doesn’t have a disk drive

15

He meant the hard drive or the local drive.

16

Yea that, sorry for that. It wont work if you drag the image from a web browser, but if you drag the file from a folder on your computer, it will.

17

i don’t know

18

I just want to know what to go to, to get the button label that’s connected to the joystick get

  1. Hover the cursor over the output node on the Joystick Get that’s called “Buttons.”
  2. Right-click and choose Cluster, Class, Variant -> Unbundle by name
    (the first choice) 1. Place the icon on the block diagram
    *]Wire the empty icon to the button node on the Joystick Get
