Our joysticks on any program my teams use will not work except for one wheel
on the channel 2

#2

Can you gives us a bit more information so we can better help you? What programming environment (EasyC, ROBOTC, PROS, ConVEX) are you using? What code are you using to use a joystick channel to control the motor(s)?

#3

We use ROBOTC and this is our program.

#pragma config(Motor, port1, MiddleLeft, tmotorVex393, openLoop)
#pragma config(Motor, port2, BackLeft, tmotorVex393, openLoop)
#pragma config(Motor, port3, MiddleRight, tmotorVex393, openLoop)
#pragma config(Motor, port4, BackRight, tmotorVex393, openLoop)
#pragma config(Motor, port5, Arm, tmotorVex393HighSpeed, openLoop)
#pragma config(Motor, port6, Arm2, tmotorVex393HighSpeed, openLoop)
#pragma config(Motor, port7, Claw, tmotorVex393, openLoop)
#pragma config(Motor, port8, Claw2, tmotorVex393, openLoop)

while(true)

motor[port1] = vexRT[Ch2];
motor[port2] = vexRT[Ch2];
motor[port3] = vexRT[Ch3];
motor[port4] = vexRT[Ch3];

if(vexRT[Btn5UXmtr2] == 1)
{
motor[port5] = 75;
}
else
{
}
if(vexRT[Btn5DXmtr2] == 1)
{
motor[port5] = -75;
}
if(vexRT[Btn5UXmtr2] == 1)
{
motor[port6] = 75;
}
else
{
}
if(vexRT[Btn5DXmtr2] == 1)
{
motor[port6] = -75;
}
if(vexRT[Btn6UXmtr2] == 1)
{
motor[port7] = 75;
}
else
{
}
if(vexRT[Btn6DXmtr2] == 1)
{
motor[port7] = -75;
}
if(vexRT[Btn6UXmtr2] == 1)
{
motor[port8] = 75;
}
else
{
}
if(vexRT[Btn6DXmtr2] == 1)
{
motor[port8] = -75;
}
}

Wrapping code in (CODE) … (/CODE) tags replacing () with ] makes it easier to read code.

You forgot to add curly brackets for the while(true) loop. I’ve fixed it below:

task main()
{
	while(true)
	{
		// Drive Control
		motor[port1] = vexRT[Ch2];
		motor[port2] = vexRT[Ch2];
		motor[port3] = vexRT[Ch3];
		motor[port4] = vexRT[Ch3];

		// Arm Control
		if(vexRT[Btn5UXmtr2] == 1) {
			motor[port5] = 75;
			motor[port6] = 75;
		}
		else if(vexRT[Btn5DXmtr2] == 1) {
			motor[port5] = -75;
			motor[port6] = -75;
		}
		
		// Claw Control
		if(vexRT[Btn6UXmtr2] == 1) {
			motor[port7] = 75;
			motor[port8] = 75;
		}
		else if(vexRT[Btn6DXmtr2] == 1) {
			motor[port7] = -75;
			motor[port8] = -75;
		}
	}
}

It also looked like you were trying to create else if conditions, I fixed those as well along with a little redundancy cleaning.
