Go to Post My experience in FIRST has taught me that, whatever you do, make sure that no single failure can eliminate half your drive system.[...] The worst feeling in the world is having your robot driving around in circles when there is critical business to be done on the playing field. - Andrew [more]

[FTC]: Faster LabVIEW motor .vi's

Greetings,

I've attached a set of modified motor .vi's that execute ~30% faster than the ones in the toolkit. The optimizations are listed in the block diagrams for those who are interested. They are direct replacements for the existing .vi's and should require no further modifications to your code.

These .vi's will not cure fundamental code problems. Rather, they will let you coax a little bit more out of the NXT. An example where they might be useful would be in an autonomous balancing program that is not quite looping fast enough to stay balanced.

Most of the speed tricks could also be applied to the fixed distance and servo .vi's if you choose to do so.

As always, caveat emptor.

Best Regards.
