Re: servo

I think this thread is getting more complicated then it needs to. The way I understand your question is that when a button is not pressed you want a servo to be at angle X, and when it is you want it to be at angle X+5. Is this right?

The way I would do this is by having a true/false case statement with the numeric constant X in the false case and X+5 in the true case. I would then feed this value in to the WPI servo .vi called "Set Angle". This code would make the servo go to one angle (in this case X) while the button is not pressed and another (in this case X+5) when it is.

If you still don't see any movement try changing the values from X and X+5 to 0 and 170, it could just be to small a change to see. If there is still no servo movement after that, respectfully suggest to electrical it's their fault, calmly double check your code, then yell at electrical.
