Re: Summary of LabVIEW Resources and Comments
 

I have 2 questions I would like to post.

Is there an ETA for the 3rd tutorial? The first 2 are great and have helped getting my programming team kick started.

One question in the 2nd tutorial, During the initial robot build, a FRC motor is selected. In the pull down menu in the tutorial there is listed a double cim motor. I can not find this in the FRC motor pull down in Labview.

I have gone back to a previous thread and followed specificly how to install user.lib with the FRC tools. I can get the FRC motor but still can not get the dual cim.

Have any changes been made to the FRC library since released? Can I use the settings that are shown on the screen in the tutorial to replicate a dual cim.

Still having fun in CT, but starting to feeeel the pressure.

Yes, I'll make it available at least for viewing online (downloading might take a little longer) sometime Monday.

The guys at WPI cheated a little bit. They made a couple small modifications to the modeling kit right before releasing the second tutorial, and it resulted in them having additional items in the pull-down list, which included a couple of the *real* motor characteristics. On Monday I'll give you a link to the third tutorial, which contains the config info you need to model additional motors - until then, yes, you can use those parameters to model the CIM motor they have shown. I will see what I can do to also have those additional motor configurations added to the drop-down list in the modeling kit VIs on monday as well.

Thanks for hanging in there with us!

Ok, so, I lied when I said I would have it up on Monday - I have a link to the 3rd tutorial now! Check out the robot modeler announcement thread for updates.
