Re: How to Use LaunchPad MSP430 in combination with Labview

I don't really understand what you are trying to do.

It sounds like you are trying to use the Lauchpad on the robot to control winch from a computer with a joystick. If you are trying to do this on an FRC robot, it is illegal because all motors have to be controlled by the roboRIO, and I also don't see a reason for it.

If you are doing it just for testing, you need to write code for the Launchpad in C++ using Energia (AFAIK you can't program Launchpads in LabView). I'll explain it more if this is actually what you want.
