Re: [FTC]: Labview can't use two controllers

Your post stated that you installed all of the patches from the www.ftctraining.com web site. This site has a pointer to three LabVIEW updates to on the National Instruments web site: zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7956

These updates are:
- Motor and Encoder Update
- Dual Controller Update
- Sketch Example Update

Are these the updates you installed? Try re-installing the updates. The installation requires several steps and perhaps one was skipped. A copy of the installation instructions for the Dual Controller Update are at the end of this post.

Be careful when downloading the updates, this web page contains updates for both NXT-G and LabVIEW.

-----------------------------
lv_ftc_2controllersfix Installation Instructions:

1. Make sure LabVIEW is not running.
2. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder where you installed LabVIEW 8.5.1. This is usually C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.5.
3. Navigate to the ..\vi.lib\addons\NXTToolkit\gcompiler\Backend.LEGO \Transformations\Register folder.
4. Drag the LEGO.Register.GetSimpleFPLocalsRegisterSets.vi you extracted from lv_ftc_2controllersfix.zip into the
..\vi.lib\addons\NXTToolkit\gcompiler\Backend.LEGO \Transformations\Register folder.
5. Click "Yes" on the popup dialog asking if you want to replace the existing file.
6. Now you will be able to use two controllers to control your robot. You will need to recompile your VIs to your NXT.
