The partner joystick channel 4 wont read laterally. It only responds when I go diagonally, which is a problem. And it does this with every partner joystick I try.

What have I done wrong.EE

If your goal is to set TopMotor = partner Ch4, your code is correct. If that is not what is happening, I would look for errors in wiring.
