Re: Autonomous Independent

I believe these are the files for both the Teleop mode joystick read and solenoid logic and the autonomous mode autokick and solenoid logic - at least I am pretty sure these are the files.
I have to apologize...I am sending this from my home computer (without labview) and I cannot inspect the files to make sure. We backed them up tonight on a jump drive and I am just uploading from those backups.

We were able to view both files tonight in a review with the students when I spotted something in the auto indep vi that might be the cause. I copied the teleop joystick read and solenoid logic and renamed the file in the auto indep and I re-wired the feedback. I was impressed that labview put in the feedback nodes and interested that when I drew it differently, it put nodes in differently. When you connect feedback loops in labview, it automatically puts in the feedback node. Depending on what connections will be made last will determine where the feedback nodes go. In the case of auto indep vi, it looks like instead of a single feedback node wired to the output of the case structure, there are 3 feedback nodes right before the 2-two input OR gates. I figured that if Labview allowed you to wire it both ways and automatically put in the feedback nodes, they must be the same.
It could be a difference - maybe the nodes in those locations start as indeterminate?

We'll be at Hartford tomorrow and will try to do some more debug there.
Thanks again for the feedback.
