Re: Dart Linear Acuator

We used Darts in 2015 with potentiometers. We set software stops on these, as well as an equalling-out program (we were using 2, and 1 one would move faster than the other) that made it so both moved at the same speed.

The implementation can be done in 2 ways.

1.) You can set up a case structure that stops the motor (values: 0) if the pot values are over the limits (you'll have to find these experimentally)

2.) You can use the built-in Talon software to set limits in Begin (I'm pretty sure that's possible). Don't quote me on this, though.
