Switching between Autonomous and Teleoperated
 

Hello,

I have a question in regards to the Driver Station and LABVIEW. How do i switch between autnonomous and teleoperated periods using labview? Do we have to use the switch on the Driver Station and some code in labview or is there a tempelate available that does it automatically??? Is there a location where this info is posted?

Oh boy, so many questions... please reply asap

Thank you

During development and practice, you choose between Autonomous and Teleoperated by using the Driver Station switch. During competition, the Field Management System will control the mode.

The Basic Get Mode VI in the LabVIEW code provides a way to read the competition state. Feeding it into a case structure lets you do different blocks of code depending on whether the state is Autonomous or Teleoperated.

You can find this information (and a lot of other important facts) in the Using the LabVIEW FRC Framework document, which is linked to on the http://www.usfirst.org/frccontrolsystem page.

Of further interest, the field control experts at FIRST have released a "light" version of the field management system for teams to utilize during development and scrimmages. It's available via FIRST's website "with" all of the Control System documentation (see below).
