Re: Buttons and Pneumatics Help
Here's the setup we had last night from the limited info I and my team were able to compile. I had figured out the buttons unbundle, but now the design of the robot has changed and I need to control not 4 but 3 pneumatics via Joystick buttons. I thought that the setup pictured would fill the compressor and allow us to activate the solenoids, but nothing happens when we press buttons. Is there anything wrong with our setup?
I also have 2 additional questions.
Can I wire the 3 Joystick to a 3rd Motor via a "Get Axis" VI like I did for the tank drive system? I had a 3rd Joystick for buttons per my designers request, but I now need to wire it to a 3rd motor that I have not created yet on the block diagram.
Why does our robot only move in 2 second increments? No matter how we move the joysticks, the robot only moves for two seconds, then pauses momentarily, then moves again. Is this a mechanical problem or did we code something wrong? I should state the changing the battery alleviates this problem, but only for 2-3 minuets, regardless of the energy level of the battery.
Thanks again.
