Re: Looking for some Labview help

It depends on what problems you are having with the coding. Some preliminaries that should be taken care of are installing and activating LabVIEW, and downloading and installing the Utilities, Driver Station, and LabVIEW patches from FIRST, through NI.

At the start up menu, you should start a new cRIO project. The first thing to change is to add the motors and actuators inside the Begin vi as appropriate. Inside the teleop and autonomous vi's, you can specify how you would like your robot to react to either driver inputs (teleop) or time(autonomous).

In each vi is sample code that will help you along the way. As a general note, motors and actuators are opened and stored to a Reference name in Begin, called by reference name in Teleop, and closed by name in Finish.

The driver station and stock LabVIEW software will manage the joysticks for you. Using an XBox joystick makes no difference (we used one this year).

It is highly likely that I will be at Texas Robot Roundup on Saturday and maybe Friday. I would be delighted to meet with you and help you and your programmers become self-sufficient in coding robot LabVIEW. If you need any help before that, feel free to PM me and I will discuss this in even more detail.

I hope this helped a bit.
