Ok, We got it working yesterday. I am the mentor, and did not dig into the code, to research the issue we were having, but I wanted to post incase someone else uses the code, and so you know of the issue we tripped up on. It seems there is a problem with passing non-integer data between the script to the code. In our drive straight command, we are choosing the motor speed drive at, the raw -1 to 1 motor speed. So in our script one of the arguments is 0.5 for motor speed.
The code that populates the driver station message box, says that it read 0.5 and everything was good. But when we probed the data in labview, it was either a 0 or a 1. We then made the data in the script 50 and in the adjusted the labview code to divide the speed value by 100, we got it to work and drive at 50% speed as intended. (This was not the only error made this weekend, there were many others that were self imposed.
)
I am guessing that the message box is populated with the string values from the script file and not from the converted string to fixed (or interger) data the labview code is seeing.
Thanks again for sharing, and responding to all the questions, we now have our torc drive straight auto and wait working in beescript, now to get the turns done. We could not have done it without your help.
