Labview Joystick Input Example code not working

[rsegrest]

Jeff and Doug,

I am going to post this both here and in my thread in hopes of a quick answer. We tried steps and here are the results:

When we run the code and switch to the driver account:
1. Text turns blue when joystick buttons depressed
2. Robot code (right below the team number) turns solid green

However...still blinking yellow lights on jags...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Robyn

WE HAVE MOTOR RESPONSE!!!!! Our programmer was reading your posts and banging his head against the classmate and motors and I walked to the back room to check on the mechanical when suddenly I heard motors spinning. The programmer said that there were LOTS of things wrong but had to go to tennis lesson before he could explain. He's coming back at 9:00 (CST) so will ask him what it was and post back then.

THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND SUGGESTIONS!!!

What would we do without Delphi?!

Robyn,

Glad to hear you've got it working!

Our problem is solved... we weren't running the Driver Station program during testing :-)

Cheers,

In general, this is a bad way to do development. If you want to develop code on the classmate, you should simply run the driver station application from the start menu in the developer account, not switch accounts. If you switch accounts, you can get into a state where it's not clear to other people on your team what's running and you will end up wasting time trying to figure out why there is no communication with the robot. If you avoid doing this you won't risk this wild goose chase.
