Programming a 6 Motor Drivetrain

[ElectricNoodle]

This is my first year programming in Labview, and I'm still trying to get the hang of it. Our team is building a 6 cim motor tank drive, but in my projects "begin" VI it will only account for either 2 or 4 motors, is there a way I can make it account for all 6 drive motors?

For a tank drive setup, the cRIO only needs to output 2 different speeds to the motors (one for each side.) While you do need one motor controller per motor on the robot, you can use PWM Y-cables so that all three motor controllers on a side get the same signal from the cRIO. Then you can just use a 2-motor setup in the code.

Okay I think I understand it now.

Thank you for clarifying
