Software help greatly appreciated

[3608]

Why hello forums!

We are a new team with some (infuriating) problems regarding the software: we've had a few students try coding a Teleop mode incorporating the motion we need with little success. I'm afraid we as a team are still trying to learn and adapt the software, and any help is well, incredibly helpful.

As for our issues:

-Our Teleop will not run successfully, though based in large part on the FTC basic template, which will run.

Perhaps related to this, we are experiencing config errors on the NXT when we try to test the programs.

Here's a copy of the VI, and I hope you all can figure it out.

Cheers,

3608,

Biggest problem in your code is that your communications loop was feeding the NXT cluster out of the while loop to the rest of your code.  This made your action loops dependant on that communications loop stopping.  The NXT Cluster should come from the write to display on the far left and feed all the while loops.

The other thing I would question but I don't know how your robot is configured is your motor configuration and how you are controlling the servos.  Normally you don't use the joystick power VI with servos, you set a position or run 0-255 (128 being stopped) with a continous servo.

If you have more questions with servos please post but this should get you driving.

Thank you, that helped quite a bit!

And, if I may ask, how would you recommend programming tetrix motors?
