Re: Autonomous Control

Here is one method of autonomous control for LabVIEW.
NOTE: it is *not* the autonomous development kit, but I *am* calling it an Autonomous Control Framework.
Here's how it works:

There is also a main disbacher, to send events to the appropriate dequeuers.

This framework is intended to go with an autonomous program that includes Planner (for deciding what to do next) and a Perceiver (for taking sensor data, processing it, and storing it as named values)
With it, any action can be started or stopped with any of the following conditions:
  • immidiately
  • time delay
  • time in match
  • named value =, <, or >
  • named input =, <, or >
  • Completion of antother event
  • Sucess of another event


I wanted to try making this in addition to the autonomous development kit described by Mike (lineskier).
This Autonomous Control Framework is quite functional (except perhaps the value comparison being backwards of what is intuitive).

So, now that this is public, I'm going to resume work on the autonomous development kit.
