Talking Re: Potentiometer on cRIO, Programming in Windriver

Thanks, the last post got it. Coming from an environment that corrects typos and capitalizes variables the right way instead of being case sensitive like the one that VB and VBA uses has just shown me how far the C environments we work with need to come still. Windchill is much better about some of that then MPLab was but it still has a ways to go towards user-friendliness.

Not everyone has a software or electrical expertise and has the time to get smart on a whole new system so it can be very frustrating to try and get stuff that seems so trivial working in this high pressure period. I fought this problem for 2 hours yesterday before breaking down and trying here. Chief Delphi really is a good resource and I don't know how anyone gets anything done without it if they are a limited resource team. Thanks again.

FIRST could have gone a long way towards helping us with the new system by having a default code that included samples and examples of each input and output type like they used to do. The code examples I have seen get the bot to move around but there isn't really anything about the other basic functions most teams use.
