Ok, here is what is going on. I am on a first year team, my team like to be "dreamers" and they are asking a lot of the programming department. At the moment my team is using Labview to program the robot. Also, some other noteworthy things to add in are... 1) I am the only programmer 2) There is no programming mentor. I am on my own completely. Ihave programming experence but not with labview. I really need help with some major things because everything is going wrong and there are a lot of deadlines that are comming up that I do not thing I willbe able to meet without some serious help.
1) how do I make a throtle control for a) the drivemotors b) a seperate chain drive motor
2) what is that paddle like thing at the bottem of the attack 3 joystick called and how do I use it do control the throttle.
3) how do I do anything with pneumatics? they want to make a piston shoot the frisbees and I am totally lost.
4) how should I integrate all of this into tank drive
5) how do I set up communication with the cRIO?
anything else that is useful please help. If you need to you can contact me on my blog (
