Re: Perspective on code for motors and Robot arm
Attached .vi will perform this. Normally I would not post code but since we are only a few days left till shipment and you are struggling with tank drive here you go. Make sure you put the code that is marked "Begin.vi" in the Begin.vi and the code that is marked "Teleop.vi" in the Teleop.vi

A few suggestions:
1) Since your Arm will be controlled by 2 motors you should use a PWM Y-Cable and only use 1 PWM Channel on the DSC. I made this assumption in the code that I wrote since we received them in the KOP.
2) Get more joysticks. I would not want to be the drive team that only has 1 person driving AND operating the arm. It can get pretty confusing and besides it will maximize your efficiency if you have 2 people on your drive team.
