Deploying Code...

[TogetherSword8]

Another LabVIEW trick, code in dashboard variables for any variables you have in your code (works out really well for autonomous). This allows you to easily test your autonomous code and modify any values without having to stop and change in your code. Once you hit the right combination, screenshot your dashboard, and go back to your code and replace the dashboard variable receive function with the variable it is supposed to be. This is useful in competition, we were able to fully debug an autonomous in one practice field time in this method, and we ran it 5 times in a row during this same session to make sure it would run consistently on the field.

The running from robot main method works great when you are in your shop, i just get a little wary about possibly forgetting to rebuild and redeploy the code before we go out onto the field.
