Re: Labview Autonomous and Pneumatics

From your description I'm assuming you're using the Watchdog "Delay and Feed" to drive straight for 10sec. If you stay with "dead-reckoning" (i.e. driving for certain times rather than based on some sensor input like an encoder or a gyro), you can wire off of the "Delay and Feed" error output to have subsequent VI's (like firing a solenoid) run after the delay has expired. This accomplishes basically the same thing as a sequence structure or state machine for very simple sequences.

Make sure you've opened the solenoid outputs before your Auto runs - in the LV advanced framework you can do that in the Begin vi, and add the solenoid refs to the Robot Data cluster. Hope that helps.
