Auto and Teleop Modes Hate Eachother!!! HELP!!!

[furiousgeorge]

i can get my teleop to run fine, and then deploy my auto as a start up just like my telop, and it runs fine, but i can't have both at the same time. when i try to switch from teleop to auto on the driver's station it stays the same, i can have one but not the other, i don't know what to do will someone please help me!

In frc update#9 it said:

During each MATCH, the Field Management System will cycle each Driver Station though the following states:
* Autonomous - Disabled
* Autonomous - Enabled (for 15 seconds)
* Autonomous - Disabled
* Teleoperated - Disabled
* Teleoperated - Enabled (for 120 seconds)
* Teleoperated - Disabled

from this i assume that they can't run at the same time given the fact that they make sure both are disabled before they enable tele-operated. besides in the game it isn't supposed to switch from tele-operated to autonomous

we are having the same problem so any help would be helpful

[furiousgeorge]

no, i think you misunderstand me, i should be able to have teleop running, and when i hit the switch to auto, the auto program should begin running (correct me if i'm wrong) but instead of this happening i only get either telop mode or auto mode, even when i switch the button on the driver's station only one program works

[TheIndian771]

One thing we tried was taking out the "start com" that we copied into our autonomous code. That allowed both the autonomous and the teleoperated to work independently, but then we had issues with the motors not working in autonomous but (yes) working in teleoperated. We can't seem to get both pieces working. We should probably continue communicating and perhaps we can come to a conclusion that works for both of us.

The initial project code is all in one project and has one build spec for deploying to the robot. You don't want to create a new project for your autonomous. You want to edit the one in your project. And you do not want to drop any more of the start communications anywhere else in your program. One of those is the right number, and the template had it in the right location.

So that we can help better, which template are you using Basic or Advanced? Do you really have two projects, or did I misunderstand?

[furiousgeorge]

i'm using basic, and it's all under one project but seperate VI's

[Greg McKaskle]

Are you clicking the run button on your autonomous? To start it up, you should set the DS to disable, run the robot main, then you can enable either the tele or the auto. You should be able to switch back and forth as many times as you like.

Do the procedure above with auto first, then tele and report the results.

We were having problems until we realized that you must deploy from the Main project. There is a deploy button on the autonomous but if you load from here apparently only that vi gets loaded and Globals or something gets broken.

[bobwrit]

(Put robot in teleop)Try running your main robot code vi, and then, while that is still running, open up your autonomous independent vi, and it should not be running. Keep your main code still running, and switch to autonomous on your DS. You should see the autonomous program run.

[TheIndian771]

we finally got our code to work thanks to a little luck
the problem we had was that our varibles were not inside of the while loop (or for loop if that is what you used)
After we did that, though the code ran perfectly

We are having a similar problem but I don't understand how you fixed this. Are you using Labview or WindRiver?

[chmp09]

In labview, you want to run your Robot Main.vi as startup, not teleop or auto. If you just modified the default code, it should switch between the modes correctly.

I have a question that slightly goes along with this...

We are using the provided FMS to run some 120 second matches but the problem is the FMS will NEVER put the robot into auto mode??

the auto-mode is set to 15 sec the teleop mode is 120 sec we have tried both start buttons and nothing will work... anyone else having similar issues with the FMS software?
