Re: Double Solenoid Problem

Sorry if I'm of little help but we just switched to Labview this year.

The VI for the code is an edited Tank Drive example written for a 6 CIM tank with ball shifters and a compressor.

I'm not sure what a "refnum" is, could you elaborate please?

We are controlling the "shift" via the front panel as of now while the robot is enabled. This will obviously change as the season progresses.

The solenoid open is outside of the loop and is set for a double solenoid.

The other issue that we are running into is that after a few minutes of driving and shifting, the robot will cycle power and we will loose connection. We have checked for loose connections, and there are none. My only two theories are that if the CKD is constantly engaged, the power cycles or, if the gearboxes half shift, the motors draw too much voltage cause the robot to reboot. If you have any thoughts, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
