Code Check

Don't the safety inspectors check to see if the air compressor given with the kit is 'safe' if you have any pneumatics on there?

Most definitely. The switch is 100% digital. Being the coder, communications analyst, mechanic, electrician, and pneumatics guru of the team (did I get all positions that don't require talking to other people? ), I know that the switch returns a digital value, and there would really be no purpose in having an analog switch. It wouldn't be too pricey, just pointless.


Back to the ultimate question though, does my code look good?

I also noticed a Sync Group lead on the Set Output VI. Will this allow me to have those motors work in unison? If so, how do I use it?

Also, finally, Error In and Error Out. What do these do for me and do I need them? I understand they can help control which code starts first, but I thought the DevRefs would take care of that.

The Sync Group is only used for CAN control. It's not used for PWM control. With PWM, the motors are all updated at the same time.
