Periodic Task Input

[Greg McKaskle]

You can put your robot into test mode using the driver station. That allows you to watch sensors that you've opened while the robot is safely disabled, and it allows you to drive actuators that you've opened when enabled. Note that periodic code will continue to run, even in test mode.

It also allows you to run test VIs that you write to calibrate or verify controlled mechanisms.

Will give that a shot, thanks.

We've seen this before on our robots. What does the dashboard report as your CPU utilization? If we're running at 100%, we see this on occasion. Do you have any unthrottled loops?
