We are rookie programmers and are having trouble with our autonomous program. we have been able to make it move and turn but we are unable to get a relay to activate a pneumatic to make our kicker go. we are using labview and need to know how to actuate a relay in autonomous. i believe i included all i can think of right now but if you need anymore information to help answer this just say the information that you need.

Without more specifics, I would recommend looking at one of the example programs installed with Labview. When you launch labview and get the getting started dialog, goto the example section and click on 'more' You should see a list of examples specific to tasks in FRC and Labview. A couple you might be interested in are 'Solenoid with Compressor' and 'Simple Solenoid' and 'Relay'

If you can provide more detail after studying these examples about what you are trying to do, we can help you some more.
