Running Loop in Parallel

Is the code with the two while loops "Move Down until limit switch" and "Angle" inside the "Set Angle Preset 1" subVI?

Do you expect the "Disable Limit" Boolean input to change while looping around the "Move Down until limit switch" loop? If so that will not work because "Disable Limit" will only have the value passed in when the subVI was called and not any new value from the joystick. To update from the joystick as it loops, you will need to put a Joystick Get inside the "Move Down until limit switch"

I'm not too sure just how this angle setting is to work. It seems you have a 'home' position (Top Angle Limit) that you move to start and then iterate around a 10+ms loop a number of times read from the Dashboard until you HOPE to be at the angle you desire.

You are correct on how the angle adjustment is going to work. It goes up until it hits the limit switch then goes down for a set amount of time. I am hoping to replace the time function with a gyro but I have been unable to get a good reading from the gyro.

I am currently not too worried about the "Disable Limit" not working but I may change it if need be but I believe it worked in its current state.

Have you looked into using a potentiometer? The gyro will drift over time and will be effected by bumps and bangs as you move around the field.

That just got brought up in this topic http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...23#post1236323 I am going to look into it.
