Button help

Okay then do we use the joystick refnum in teleop to get them initialized instead of the joystick open since that was already done in the begin.vi?

[Greg McKaskle]

Yes. Open once, and store with a name in Begin. Get with the name everywhere you need the value.

Okay in the begin.vi do we then wire the joystick and motor up to the build array function?

[Greg McKaskle]

The errors are collected in a array. This makes it easy to see if anything is failing during initialization. You can do this if you like, but it isn't required. The errors will be reported to the Diagnostics page instead if they aren't wired.

Okay we have the basic idea set up for pressing the button done and everything checks out, but when we deploy it to the robot nothing goes. Do we have to designate something else or what's not going on?

Here's an attachment of the teleop with buttons anything out of place that stopping the motor from running?

[Mark McLeod]

The Motor Open needs to be moved to Begin.vi and done the same way that all the other devices are opened.

What's happening is you are opening the motor 50 times a second and never closing any of them.
LabVIEW is very confused about which of the several thousand motors you have opened you're talking about...

Thanks for helping everyone, the motor's running great now!
