Auto Code NOT Running (as expected)

[kws4000]

Lana? Yeah that is EXACTLY what we were looking at.

Shucks, that'll take more thinking...thinking always gets me in trouble....

So just put everything in one giant loop w/ a FALSE wired to the Terminator? On second thought, that may be a bad idea... I have bad memories of that angry little doggie...

[RufflesRidge]

Heh, that should have said Alan.

Yes, a big while loop with false on the terminator should work just fine. Make sure to put a Wait Ms VI in there, 20 to 50ms should work well.

Okay, but any infinite loops are on your tab next week, I've already footed the bill my team gives the programmers long enough!

[RufflesRidge]

As long as you have not modified Robot Main, the Autonomous Independent VI will be automatically terminated when the robot changes modes, regardless of whether it is currently "caught" in a loop or not.

Would passing Ultrasonic and Joystick data to the Dashboard inside Robot Main qualify as "modification"?

Nope, that should be fine.

Annnddddddddd, (drum roll please)

It doesn't work. Error #-44061 at Leftand Right Motors, standard loop starvation code. The joystick z-throttle selector works.

We have a loop around all Auto Code, with a Wait in there of 20, and tried again w/ 50. Loop starvation every time!

Also, sending kinect2 yaxis back to dashboard. Always sends "0", even when doing the floppy chicken!

So therefore, is it some error in setting up the Kinect, or can the robot not reliabley interpret the Kinect data?

If you run the default dashboard, does the Kinect "green man" and Y-axis data show up?

yep. The little bars work fine, but the robot won't reliably read the kinect and sentd that data back to a custom readout, and yes the indicator works properly just like the other 2 windows we have right above it.

I think if the dashboard can finally get the proper data, then the robot auto code will work fine.

By any chance do you have the Driver Station I/O Tab set to Enhanced Mode without the Cypress connected?

That's a unique case (bug) where the Kinect data will not get sent properly to the robot, but will be seen just fine on the Dashboard Kinect skeleton feedback.

That may be it, Mark. We'll try it either tomarrow or Wednesday, we may be doing something with team Wavelength in Norton Shores.

Otherwise, code looks good? If it ain't, I'll never hear the end of it!
