Re: Adding more joysticks to the Open vi

On one of the computers that we are using for development. When we place more than on Open VI down for the Joystick then specified the new joy stick the other one changes as well. Checking we found that we were updating the vi.lib one. Any new project we made had all the changes in settings from the last project.So that confused us as to why we weren't making a copy of the library vi. So we figured we needed to change the library to make separate inputs. Doing some checking on my home laptop I found when I created a new project it made copies of all the vi's in a location that I had specified. I guess this is the way it's supposed to work. Is there a default setting that may be messed up or did we load Lab View wrong? May be this was the question I needed to have answered in the first place.
Thanks

Re: Adding more joysticks to the Open vi

Let's check your LabVIEW version first.

On the top menu bar look under "Help" for "About FIRST Robotics Competition Software..."
to see if you have Software Update 3.0.0

I've attached pictures of what you should see.
If you do not even see the choice then you do not have the LabVIEW update installed.

Re: Adding more joysticks to the Open vi

My laptop shows ver 3.0.0. I'll have to wait till I get to school this afternoon to check the development computer.
Thanks

Talking Re: Adding more joysticks to the Open vi

Found out the problem was in how we started to copy the placed vi's. Seems like we duplicated them. So then we thought we had to modify the VI lib components to get enough I/O terminals.
Now that we know that you don't modify the Libarary VI's we now know where we went wrong. Thanks for the quick replies
