Re: solenoid and compressor code

In Autonomous you don't want to use a joystick trigger. There are no joysticks in Autonomous. The Drivers stand back from the controls about 4 feet. You'll want to trigger the solenoid (Create -> Constant) at a certain time or if you have a sensor that detects when a ball is in range of your kicker.

The compressor should be just as it's shown in the Begin.vi I posted.
If yours is significantly different you should post a photo or tell us what differs.

The solenoid action can be quite a bit different. There are lots and lots of ways to handle that.

the solenoid and compressor is quite a bit different than your screen shot,
does that matter?
