Working with spikes and servos in labview

[EROCK]

Hello all the programming team and I are still getting used to this new labview environment and we can successfully get the 2.5 inch CIM motors to drive using jaguars but we would like to be able to assign a button to activate a spike controlling a servo. what must we do in lab view to get this to work or is it not even possible.

You need to use the relay VI set from the WPI library. You can find those in the Actuator section. Look at the Relay Example in the LV opening screen. That should show you what needs to be connected where, and you can copy and paste pieces of it into your Main vi. For competition use, I'd recommend a case structure around the SET Relay VI, activated by an unbundled Button 1 from a Joystick GET, as well as changing any controls you can to constants.

Can you clarify what you're trying to do? Servos do not get connected to Spikes.
