Servos
 

Hey anyone!!!! I am trying to program the servos and I had a few questions: here is what I have so far:

In Begin.vi Servo Open.vi>>Setrefnum

in teleop.vi I created a vi called Servo

In Servo.vi I have Getrefnum(for the servo)>> adn Getrefnum (for the joystick)

I then wired an unbundle by name for button 3 to Joystick_Get.vi and created a case structure. In the case structure I use Servo_GetPosition>> and added it to a constant of .1 and then set it to Servo_SetPosition.vi

I created a check to make sure that the new position that I am calling for is not above one. I created a less than check and the x value is the out put from the adding of .1 and the GetPosition; and the y value is 1.

if The less than check is true I set the servo position
if it is false it does nothing

The PMW channel indicator on the dashboard (the blue vertical bar thingy) is full when I click button 3. Adn the indicator (GPIO state) is on.


I have two PMW wires linked together to the servo wire (yellow,red,black) is linked to the wires

OK, let me ask a couple questions.

What are you expecting this to do?
What is it actually doing?

Sorry for the short response I ran out of time.

Anyway I am trying to program the servo motors for the camera. I tried using a spliter - the thingiy that takes the two wires and puts it into one (not sure how to describe it).

Just to make sure the servo motors are working I just set it up on to the PMW port on the digital sidecar - hoping that it sould work byitself.

When I click button 3 I expect the servo motor to spin.
