Problem with Auto

[Nick Lawrence]

Are you using encoders on your drive, or a timer?

If you're using encoders, are you resetting those values to zero before you start your auto mode?

Is motor safety enabled? (If you haven't explicitly disabled it, then it probably is). Are you getting any errors on the driver station/netconsole?

The motor safety feature will stop running the motors if you are not constantly feeding it values for motor speeds, and will say something like "Output not updated often enough" if you set the motor to full speed once, and then wait a while and stop it.

Especially if you are using a Jaguar

The safety vi was disabled before we started programming autonomous. I'm curious why autonomous doesn't work, but teleop does, when the motors are referenced the same way for both. We are programming using labview and we are using jaguars for the drive system.

Are there any error messages on the driver station (under the diagnostics tab) or on the netconsole?

Probe your error wires and see what they return.
