Re: [FTC]: Progress report on using encoders

We've been messing with the encoders for autonomous and haven't much success so far using Labview. We had a lot of difficulty. We'd run the same program 4 times and get 4 totally different results. Sometimes both encoders reset, sometimes only one, sometimes none. I hadn't even thought about them for driving, except for the arm.

However, our when we attempted the same stategy using RobotC sample codes it worked. The Robotc codes had some logic waiting for the encoders to give the correct results. So it may be a coding issue in Labview.
