Creating a Delay in Actuating a Solenoid

[TimeOut]

Yep, I'll give that a try when we hit the bot again on Monday.

Thanks!

Hi Alan and Timeout...

We are working with a similar programming senario... I am new to the idea of a "watchdog."

We want to program a button to trigger the first solenoid, wait two seconds, and trigger a second solenoid. When we wired up the watchdog as previously described, it loops like we got caught in an infinate loop.

I am not at school and cannot send a screenshoot right now. but I will post it ASAP. Is their another way to sequence besides using watchdogs in LV?

The delay and feed watchdog vi will freeze your motor control... This is for teleop, correct?
teleop is in a loop, and delays will shut down all control until it is done.

You'll probably want a state machine: http://frcmastery.com/try-me/state-machines/
