Re: Slowness and delays in teleopt
By any chance are you using CAN? Our software, written in C++, was seeing large lags and lack of responsiveness due to errors the Jaguars were returning on occasion back up the CAN bus, through the 2CAN and then being displayed by printfs. When we patched the WPI code to ignore those errors the lag went away. I can't remember the error the Jaguar was returning but it was one we didn't care about since we send the commands to them every time through the loop.

I don't know if a similar thing is happening in Labview. If you are using PWM in either environment, ignore all this.
