Re: Robot/Dashboard communication and the FMS

Funny you should mention that.

After six matches on Friday with all kinds of bizarre behavior, I spent several hours Friday night modifying the code to incorporate suggestions given to me by some Labview experts. Sure enough, on Saturday morning, everything seemed to work perfectly with the new code! We did well in our last three qualification matches and an extremely generous team 1492 picked us to be in the eliminations with them.

To prepare for the quarter-finals, we adjusted the angle of our autonomous shooter a little by changing exactly one global variable. I redeployed the code annnnnd guess what: in the next two matches the problem came back.

Was it because I redeployed with virtually identical code? Would it have happened anyway? I also am an embedded controls guy... but I still have some hair left. I'm afraid I might lose it all before we get to the bottom of this problem.
