Re: [FTC]: FTC Labview questions

The HiTech motor controller can get plugged into any of the NXT's INPUT ports (I know... seems BTF, but it's just a data port).

You can plug one controller into a NXT port, and then daisy chain more controllers from this to the next. This gives you a lot of expansion.

Whenever the LabVIEW code asks for a "Port" it wants to know which NXT port you plugged into.

I'd stick with Port 1 'cos it's the default in most cases.

The other thing that it asks is what "controller" it is. Here it wants to know which controller in the daisy chain did you connect the motor to. The one that's plugged directly into the NXT is controller '1' and then then next in the chain (if you have one) is controller '2' etc.



In most cases the port and controller will be '1'.
