Feeding the Watchdog in "Periodic Tasks"

Hello all,

During the Buckeye Regionals, I was set to the task of trying to create an autonomous program in three days time when I had absolutely no LabView experience to speak of. (I was the backup programmer and the other programmers neither showed up nor commented their code.) In the end, we had no autonomous program.

I had some help from the programming mentor of team 1629 (I hope I got that right) and when we worked on the autonomous program, he fed the watchdog in the 100 ms loop of the Periodic Tasks vi. I currently don't have the team computer and am programming a newer program on my own laptop and am having troubles recreating what we did at the competition. If anyone can help, I would be most appreciative and if you need anything, please, just tell me.

Thanks,

Austin
