CAN programming on labview- Speed Control

Here is our configuration- We have the black jaguar already networked to our other 3 grey jaguars. The network works properly. We have 4 toughboxes and encoders from andy mark, connected to mechanum wheels. We replaced all the standard jaguar VI's with the CAN VIs. The robot operates the same as it did with PWMs. We would like to use CAN for speed control to improve our traction and to keep ourselves from being pushed around the field. We did look at the speed control example VI but it says it cannot find the control named "Speed PID Controller status data.ctl" and asks us to find it and without this it will not open.

In our original robot code, we had the ability to switch from Tank to mechanum. We would like to use speed control for both of these. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as we are relatively new to Labview, and especially CAN.

The example depends on the "speed control tuning" dashboard, also available for download from FIRST Forge.

We download dashboard and it fixed that problem. Any suggestions on the rest of the post?

Hello infocus,

Could you elaborate a little bit on how you think using speed control will improve traction and keep you from being pushed ?
