Okay I have the dashboard flattening Distance information to a string, and then sending it to SD Write String, which should put it into it's hierarchy or whatever. Now in the PeriodicTasks.vi I have placed a SD Read String and made it unflatten the string like this:
What do I do with this unstrung data in regards to getting it global and moving to mutliple .vi's? I've never used globals before, and I can't find any documentation that talks about this step in the vision processing systems.
My end goal for this is to be able to see boxes (done), identify which boxes mean left and right by using a score system (done), calculate the distance the robot is from the wall (done), send that information from the dashboard to the robot code, interpret the score values it gets, and on a button pressing move to a specific xy location to line up a shot. I am just starting with distance so I can at least make the robot go a certain distance from the goal. After that is when I would like to look into turning the robot to face the goal straight on, or moving to be in an exact spot on the field.
Any help with moving forward on this is and will be appreciated.
