Joystick not working after switching from UNO

Hey guys,

Today I switched from my UNO to DUE because I needed more I/O. (only larger board on my school)
So when I plugged it all in I noticed my motor leds are on and cant use the joystick anymore.
Also my motor is turning.

When I delete the joystick code, and upload without it, the leds are off and my motor is not turning.

Is there something different with coding between these two boards?

My code is a bit of a mess, sorry.

const int vert_motor2   = 3;     //pin 3 of arduino to pin 2 of l293d
const int horz_motor1   = 7;      //pin 7 of arduino to pin 10 of l293d

The UNO and DUE are different internal. The uno is based on ATmega328P, DUE on Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3.
So the due is an ARM board that has different instruction set than the UNO which is AVR iirc. The pinlayout is also different, so you'll have to port your uno pins to the due.

A few thoughts:

  • Parameters you are using in map() function seem weird, are you sure they are correct ?
  • When you read digital pins, it's a good practice to add a pull down resistor (~ 4.7K ) because they can collect all sorts of EMI.

I did, still the same issue.

It has been working for days on the UNO. When I rotate the joystick the leds do flicker a little bit. Where would I need to put the resistors you are mentioning?

Between digital pins you are reading and ground.

Okay so both buttons that its reading are now with pull up from the internal pull up resistor of the arduino.
Also I put serial.println in the joystick code, and what i get is this

As you see, for some reason its running the else if codes...
