418 has several magnetic sensors on our robot this year, we use them for detecting position. For example we have an impact plate on our shooter, and on the back of the impact plate we have several magnets; the magnets trigger a
reed switch mounted on our robot and they tell the robot when the impact plate has reached its maximum pullback position.
The magnetic sensor acts just like any digital microswitch would, when the magnet gets near it the sensor closes the circuit and changes value. LabVIEW reads the DIO line just fine.

So we are able to run a very competitive and active robotics program. Sustainability, alas, is a month-to-month issue for us and is dictated by the space situation. This is okay today. Tomorrow could be different. We live like this. - Clem1640 [more]
