Need help with code for motor control

So I am very new to writing code and need some help. I am trying to use a wii nunchuck to control motors. using a dfrobot 2a motor controller. I have code working that reads the nunchuck but am not sure how to alter to make the motors go.

here is the code I am using to read nunchuck
I need to know where and how to insert code to make arduino read wii info and translate it to motor info.

also here is info on code for dfrobot 2a motor controller sample code from user manual

//Arduino PWM Speed Control?
int E1 = 6;   
int M1 = 7;
int E2 = 5;                         
int M2 = 4;                           

void setup() 
{ 
    pinMode(M1, OUTPUT);   
    pinMode(M2, OUTPUT); 
} 

void loop() 
{ 
  int value;
  for(value = 0 ; value <= 255; value+=5) 
  { 
    digitalWrite(M1,HIGH);   
    digitalWrite(M2, HIGH);       
    analogWrite(E1, value);   //PWM Speed Control
    analogWrite(E2, value);   //PWM Speed Control
    delay(30); 
  }  
}

any help would be great thanks

An accelerometer gives the instantaneous rate of change of velocity at a specific moment in time, in the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction.

How, exactly, do you want to use those three values to control the motor speeds and directions?

YOU have to provide the translation of acceleration data to motor speed/direction, or at least a description of which data you want to use, and how.

Thanks for the help Paul I'll try and give you some more information.

I am just starting simple right now I wasn't even going to use the accerometer info just the joystick right now

so the joy_y_axis reads 130 with nothing happening 131 to 255 is forward and 129 to 0 is reverse.
The Joy_x_axis would be for turning 129 to 0 is left 130 nothing 131 to 255 is right

basically the set up is two motors a left and right M1 and M2 so I'd like to translate these numbers to pwm control of the motors. if Joy_y_axis reads 255 both motors go forward etc

Joy_x_axis reads above 130 it would turn right so the left motor would run or M2 and less then 130 would be left and only M1 would run

the 2nd code gives the motor info pins and the setup

so an example would be if joy_y_axis is reading 200 that should be forward at half speed. I am just not exactly sure how to do that. I think it should translate to E1 and E2 values on the sample motor code.

The values in outbuf[0] and outbuf[1] are the joystick values. So, what you want to do is compare the values to 130. If they are less than 130, set the direction HIGH. Otherwise set the direction LOW (these are the M1 and M2 pin's values).

Then, if the value is less than 130, map it to 255 to 0, from 0 to 130. If the value is greater than 130, map it to 0 to 255, from 130 to 255.

Pass the mapped value to analogWrite() for the En pin's values.

Thanks Paul
