Re: Swerve questions (Languages, CAN)

Assumptions to be made at this time - chances of the new can motor controller having a rich enough firmware to handle the positional control of the module steering is very low, even less for PWM sensor input. The robo rio will have to close the loop. The robo rio should be more than fast enough to handle the well written swerve code and any other robo processing. Vision is the exception.

We use labview and lag is not a problem. 1st year we did. The code did not embrace data flow. One source of lag is the reading of the sensors. Is it in a periodic task or the main teleop loop?
