Programming Help: how to read first value

The Subvi takes the yaw value of the Navx and uses it to hold heading.


Any help is appreciated.

The easiest option would be to get the status of the board and wait for the connected Boolean to be true and calibration state is complete. You could use a feedback node to keep track when you trigger the storing of the set point so it won't continue to update.
