[Request]Help with Basic Design of Program

[Nickalahoby]

Hi, this is my first time posting here, and my first time using these forums, first time using Labview, first time making a program for Labview FRC, and First time being on FIRST. Just to give you an understanding of what I already know; I can understand the basics of how Labview works, with the Vi's and wiring. However, I'm not entirely sure how the Vi's need to be wired together or what needs to be included in a program for it to be a completed function for the robot to utilize.

My first question concerns the drive system my team has decided to use(Tank Drive). We have a 3 wheeled chassis with no special wheels and are using 4 motors for it. So, is the example program for Tank drive usable on its own? I would assume it requires some slight modifications, per say the motor controllers, or what inputs we have such as USB ports. But in whole, are there any major modifications that would need to happen for the base Tank Drive VI to be usable? Also, a slight follow up question; would it be considered illegal to just straight up use the Tank drive sample program?

Second question concerns our only other function, which is a basic pulley lift with one motor. Essentially a positive rotation of the motor would result in the lift moving up, and a negative spin results in a descent. Furthermore, would the program needed to construct a more simple system like this require such a detailed program as how the Tank Drive VI looks?

If anymore details are required, I would be more than happy to give them. If I'm asking a bit too much or asking something wrong, I apologize; being that this is my first year, and my team's first year, I'm not too sure of much of anything.

Thanks in advance!
