 Motors and Buttons -- Joystick Control So I am trying to get a motor to be controlled by several different joystick buttons, basically assigning different power levels to each button. This is the scenario I am trying to create: button 1 is low power, button 2 is medium power, and button 3 is high power, and when all 3 buttons are not in use the motor should not spin. I have been trying all day and not a single code I have created does all functions. Please help... I need some code! lol
Thanks in advance!

Re: Motors and Buttons -- Joystick Control The problem with that solution is that the robot would stop as soon as you release the button. You will probably not want to use a final "else" clause to stop the motor(s). Instead, choose a button to represent "stop" and test for that.

Re: Motors and Buttons -- Joystick Control Thank you so much! The only thing I was missing was the "else if" part.
Thanks!!!!
