Re: [FTC]: Motor and Servo configurations aren't working
Some tips..
Try and get all your motors defined as easly as possible, because changing the configurations after you've got a lot of programming done may be tricky.
When we change a motor setup (due to wiring changes) using the Motor Configurator, we then go into our teleop & Auto program and manually delete any references to those specific motors and re-add them. This may be unnecessary, but it gives us much more predictable results.
If you are just flailing and need a stable test, go back to the "Getting Started" manual that came in your kit. Wire up your left and right drives EXACTLY the way shown in the manual, and then download "TheMechanic.vi" into your robot. (It's in the labview Examples folder, and it's described in the manual)
This program tests the drive motors independantly and puts the bot through a predictable motion. It's the BEST way to verify that you are on the right path.
Note: it you need to post your VI, just delete the pretty picture on the Front Panel. This will reduce the size greatly.
