Periodic Tasks and Autonomus

[moore1320]

Are periodic tasks called during autonomous?

[DominickC]

I believe they are, and here's why.

When I deploy code by running Robot Main.vi, I often have Teleop, Pereodic Tasks, and Autonimous open to debug them. I notice that regardless of the mode the bot is in, Pereodic Tasks has the bolded run arrow signifying it is running.

The periodic tasks VI is called once and runs continuously, in parallel, according to each loop's timing. So yes, they will run during autonomous.
