Helping a friend out...

[hoffman01]

We need help on programing our robot. This is the very first time that our team has programed (the lead programmer has moved away)-

Here is what we want to do--
Be able to use pneumatics to propel solenoid to kick ball and have air compressor stop at 60psi -when below turn back on
Also we would like tank drive

Does anyone have an sample code. Also the team has tried to use example in labview - does not work
Everything to my knowledge is wired and updated correctly

How do we go about doing this??
Thanks for any help

Using the compressor is dead simple. Use the Solenoid With Compressor Example to find out how to wire things. Copy the Compressor Open and Compressor Start to your project's Begin.vi, followed by a Compressor RefNum Set. In your project's Finish.vi, put a Compressor RefNum Get, the Compressor Stop, and Compressor Close.

The Nason pressure switch is preset to maintain the pressure between 90 and 115 PSI. The rules require you to use it that way, and there is nothing you can do about that. You will get the 60 PSI you need from the "working pressure" regulator.

You will also find the Tank Drive Example useful.
