Programming Motors for Arm

[dmitch]

Ok, In your experience what are the best potentiometers for this kind of use?

And then I just need to set the code to run motor A until the potentiometer gives me angle x? Also, are potentiometers accessed via the generic DIO vi on LabView? And then how is this coded? I will write some code today at the shop to try and get this done and I will post it tonight if I can.

Just be warned: Its bound to have quite a few errors in it. All I learned how to do last year(from our less-than-great-teacher programmer) was how to set up mecanums and how to wire solenoids.

And does the potentiometer read degrees? So can I just do the thing from paragraph 2 up above?
Or will I have to do something else?
