CAN LabVIEW help

[Aren Siekmeier]

Is this how you would control multiple motors going into a single gearbox? It seems it would be a good way to avoid asyncronous PID loops on the different controllers, which may result in breaking stuff (unless your integral and derivative coefficients are zero, which seems kind of stupid)...

If so, is this all embedded in Robot Drive when started with the CAN Jaguar overload of Drive Open? How does it do all the sync group assignment? I see an Update Sync Group block in Tank Drive.vi, but it somehows picks the 8th sync group (b 10000000, x 80, d 128)... Which it looks like it also feeds to the Set Output blocks, which works, I guess?

Edit: oops, didn't see new posts before posting... Question still stands though, I suppose.
