[need help] push button cylinder/game pad controller

I don't follow. i just added a wire from the diamond pointing left to the true/false (currently false) toggle switch thing.

In the picture you posted there is a hollow green box (called a tunnel) on the right side of the CASE structure. I circled it in a copy of your photo below.

When it's hollow like that it means you haven't attached it in all the CASES, so it's incomplete. You'll also see there's a broken arrow for the vi in the upper left menu bar.
You've done the TRUE case, but you need to switch it to the FALSE case and just connect a wire across from the left green box to the right green box.

ohh, thanks. i just added that and i have no errors now. thanks for the help! There is one more thing i'm trying to figure out. I don't know how to run the compressor in autonomous mode. Is that a complicated process or is it simple? i can't find any threads about that. I tried to do the same thing i did in teleop but it didn't work. you can see the teleop compressor code labeled GAS in the picture I posted.

Thanks again for all your help. I hope to learn as much as i can about labVIEW and programming before the next build season so the programming skill is not restricting to the robot's capabilities. You have helpedme alot!

The compressor code belongs in Begin.vi, so that it's active all the time to support both Auto and Teleop.

Here's a link to an example of how you start it in Begin.vi: http://team358.org/files/programming...orExample2.jpg

oh, wow. I never knew you could do that! Thank you very much!

i just looked at my code. it is the same except i had compressor code in teleop.vi and i did not have anything in finish.vi. if i delete the code in teleop and add the finish code it will then run all the time? Why wouldn't it run in autonomous as-is though?

I can't see how the compressor is used in the Teleop photo you posted.
What's shown is nothing at all, but I can't see what's in the other Teleop cases.
It's probably something you don't realize is even happening.

The Finish.vi part won't affect compressor operation. That's only when the program shuts down.
