You can create drivers to determine the motion of the degrees of freedom of a joint
through time, and by using a function.
In the tree, select an existing joint.
Important:
You can only create drivers on joints with degrees of freedom. It
is impossible to use a driver on a universal joint, or on a gear, rack, or cable
joint.
In the Driven Directions section, select the check box for the
degree or degrees of freedom (rotation or translation) to control.
In the tree, select an existing function under the Functions node, or click
