I believe I put everything in the word doc. The 'new' microsoft word (docx) would not upload, so I saved it as a Word 2003 file. It opened fine for me (both my work computer and home computer).
Anyway - yes, I know I can do this differently to get things to work. I was esssentially trying to make autonomous independent run periodically by using the watchdog (at least that is how I understand it - maybe I am all wet). It seems to 'sort of' work, but I have a hunch that some of the processing could be using the majority of the processing resources. I would venture that a way to get this to work would be to schedule each of the 'tasks' (timers, solenoid control, etc), but I am not sure how to do that. Just stringing the error cluster through each of the sub vi's would provide some 'order', but after watching the tutorial several times (on auto independent), I still don't understand how the error cluster 'stringing' works. The tutorial just makes a statement without a full explanation of the mechanism. I understand that a full explanation might be beyond the scope of the tutorials which provide what I would call a 'first level of understanding'.
We were debating just putting everything into the autonomous iterative (which I am pretty sure should work), but we wanted to understand why this didn't work.
There are many ways to do things.
All - thanks for your time. I'd rather not burden anyone with this, especially if I am trying to do something 'inane' with the auto independent programming.
