Autonomous

[Hebrew]

Driving backwards is the goal for how the robot drive is currently set up. I entered random numbers for the time each task is done just to make sure it follows it, I know that I have the values up VERY high currently.

Thanks for the info on why it is stopping though! I am not with the robot right now so I cannot experiment for myself so I am wondering: What .vi do I place instead of the current drive vi? I am confused as to what I am exactly doing for it to not shut off in 100ms. Another issue: It does not usually wait 4 seconds like I have it set to before the piston is fired, do I have to do something there or was the immediate stopping of the motors causing it to speed up or something?

you don't need to replace it, but you need to disable the safety threads on those motors. To do that, go to robot drive and then hit the advanced functions button, there you will find the safety config VI.

You just need to connect it in front of the actual drive VI that sets the output. Make sure you have the robot on blocks until you know EXACTLY what you are doing with the autonomous. Once you disable the safety, the robot will move until you tell it to stop.

Good Luck.

Please do start with it on blocks, but to be clear, eStop still works and cannot be disabled. Safety Config disabling is specific to the update heartbeat.
