Rotation Into NXT Motors

[CMIrwin]

Hey,

I'm creating a robot and I have a differential for the back so my rear motor just needs to output a constant speed. Using a PD line follow program I need to make it so I can output a degree measurement to turn the front of the robot a positive or negative angle. How might I do this?

First of all, I recommend posting on the "LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms" forum. You will probably get more knowledgable help there for LabVIEW programming specific to your NXT robot.

I think there is a function available in the LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms toolkit that allows you to directly specify the number of degrees you want a certain motor to turn. Try looking at the polymorphic Wait VI and selecting rotation.
