Encoder Glitchy Issue, Help Needed

[seg9585]

FYI, Issue resolved by moving the encoder processing code from Teleop.vi to Routine Task VI, where it should have been all along. I suppose lag associated with receiving DS packets knocked the timing off the encoder's calculations.

Why a single encoder always seemed to work okay, that will remain a mystery (maybe the amount of code processed pushed the Teleop VI beyond the Watchdog timer limit?)

Did you try reading the encoder count in TeleOP, and computing

(change in encoder count)/(elapsed time since previous encoder count was read) ?

That should be reasonably insensitive to variations in the timing of receipt of DS packets, no?
