Re: Error Out Difficulties- Help Please?

In fact, for FRC in general you don't need to wire the error terminals. This differs from typical industry because:
1. you don't typically want to stop/kill your robot on error
2. since you are running on a real-time system, regular error dialogs don't exist
3. for FRC, we already handle errors within the Device Ref wires and report those errors back to the Driver Station.

When would you want to use error wires?
1. To force data flow - like when using some analysis between FRC subVIS
2. When you want to check for errors and handle them yourself - maybe for a specific error you want to run some different code
