Joystick Button Contol

Hi, I was wondering how to control a motor on the robot with the buttons on the joystick. I am using labview for writing the code.

Easiest way is to use the "Unbundle" function to get the button you're looking for, and a "Select" function that to send a value to the motor when the button is pressed and 0 to the motor when the button is not pressed.  The wire coming out of the select goes to the motor speed VI.  Looks a bit like this (mocked up, on a computer that has LabVIEW but not the FRC tools):
