Re: Creating a Delay in Actuating a Solenoid

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?

Re: Creating a Delay in Actuating a Solenoid

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/
