Thanks Dan(?)
I figured most of this out on my own. I did also figure out the motor orientation thing, I had motors going opposite way. I watched a few youtubes on SP, some, a few times to make sure I was doing it right.
Now I need to figure out the keyboard control thing, I don't have a joystick...yet, so I need to make lefty, leftx, righty, and the rightx work, for steering and speed, since in the case of a skidsteer machine these things are directly related to each other.
Thanks again!
