Need Help Please

I am trying to use a Joystick to send inputs to a motor. I have no clue what I am doing and would like to have some help. My code is not yet put together. I basically need to know how to send serial data with the joystick to set the speed of the motor.

Are you sure that the motor responds to serial inputs ?

Links to the hardware that you are using would be helpful.

Yes we can tell that.

This is what is known as an X-Y Problem so tell us what parts you have, include links to them, and what you want to do with them.
