Re: Have motor run for X amount of time
This is a timed sequence of actions, just ignore the servo examples.
Your sequence would be
  1. set motor to 1,
  2. wait x milliseconds,
  3. set motor to zero,
  4. wait 1000 ms,
  5. set motor to -1,
  6. wait X miliseconds,
  7. set motor to 0.
This drops into Periodic Tasks.vi NOT Teleop.vi
