Re: How do you get Tank Drive working?

The default code doesn't switch between tank and arcade even though the manual says it does.

The tank drive example should work, but there several ways to download a test program and run it. Here's one way:
  • It's easiest to just exit the Driver account (Setup tap -> Exit)
  • Login to the Developer account
  • Bring up the tank drive example in LabVIEW
  • Open the vi and click "Run" or "Run Continuously"
  • Start the "FRC Driver Station" program found under Windows Start -> All Programs
  • Click "Enable" on the Driver Station
It should now be running. If it isn't let us know of any red status lights on the Driver Station Diagnostic tab.

This program will stop running when you stop LabVIEW, switch Classmate user accounts, or reboot the robot.

You can also change the default robot project to use tank drive by replacing and rewiring. If you want to try this and need directions let us know.
