Help Programming Our Shooter In LabView

[DSager3]

Thank you all for your help! I'll relay the information to our programmers on Monday. In regards to the shooter, the hood is directly driven by the window motor and we plan on using two limit switches to limit the range of our hood. Also, our programmers drastically reduced the speed of the motor (not completely sure how they did it, I'm more of a mechanical guy) so the operator can control the hood angle more easily. If possible, we want to take out the human error of a person controlling the hood angle and have that done automatically.

Your design looks remarkably similar to ours! Great minds think alike! Our turret, angle of elevation, and speed of shooter will all be software controlled. Our programmers have been working on target recognition very hard, and I think they have it down. I'll mention this thread and have them comment.

Thank you! Our programmers say that the LabView file or a screenshot of the target recognition code would be extremely helpful.
