Re: Losing Communication with CRIO during Deploy

Thanks for the feedback.

The project that started this was I just need simple arcade control of our robot. So I started with this years framework and added the vi's to telop mode for arcade control. The program does nothing else. So if any loop needs slowing down, it would be the the loop in Robot Main.vi. That loop repeatedly calls the telop.vi looking for joystick input. There are parallel loops for periodic task and vision, but they either have plenty to do (vision) or wait statements (periodic tasks). I would hate to have to intentionally slow down the Robot Main loop.

Out of curiosity, I will give a try this evening to see how that works. Maybe when the programs grow in complexity they tend to slow down on their own due to more overhead. But when the framework is used for just a simple task, it needs to be slowed down a little. Seems a bit odd, but hey, it is programming!
