We are now having trouble using Counter data in the Teleop.vi, but that appears to be an issue with our PID loops, not the Counter class itself.

Palardy, could you elaborate on the issue you had last year and the workaround? Is that what we implemented?
That's what we did last year. I couldn't remember if the first one was dummy or real, but they alternated (at least the first few did, one of the last ones seemed random).

What issue are you having with the data?
