Re: Labview-> DAQ-> Many Steppers?

FRC does not directly control motors using NI's DAQ system as would normally be done in industry. Additionally, FRC does not use steppers - all of the motors we currently use (as far as I am aware) are brushed DC motors. I'm afraid you're asking the wrong people.

Additionally, FRC doesn't use "plain" Labview. There are a bunch of wrappers that we use specifically to allow remote shutdown of the robot, and to allow high school students to build robot code.
