Re: Encoder as PIDSource

So I added this in my constructor:

elevatorEncoder->SetPIDSourceParameter(Encoder::kDistance);

Is that correct? We want to test our robot today and see how it performs and I can't afford to introduce code problems outside of my experience level and lose a day of tweaking on our new hardware. (Today is hopefully first test day of our finalish robot)

I am not going to update the robot's image until I know this will work. We have a working set of code with the previous posts and I'll be using an un-updated computer to tweak our code while testing our robot today.

I am somewhat worried because when I was calling Encoder->, the SetPIDSourceParameter did not show up under the little menu of methods I could select. Also none of the colors changed when I entered the above line. Do I have to do a fresh build or something for the built in Windriver "IntelliSense" to catch up?
