First Touch I/O Module

We have an idea to use analog outputs from 3 different sources for the drivers station, however we do not know how to program the First Touch I/O Module. Some basic code, or where to get some would be very much appreciated.

Re: First Touch I/O Module

How To Configure Your I/O Module

Source Code - WPI

That should get you started. I am not in the programming section of the robot but I believe that most of the info can be used from these. Check the pages on here as well. They should provide you with some answers.

Re: First Touch I/O Module

The most direct way to do this is to configure the I/O board as normal, then simply read the analogs you want on the robot. You don't mention a language, but all have access to the FT values via the DriverStation object or library.

On the robot, do the math to combine them into the appropriate control values e.g. speed= (x+y+z)/3, or whatever you need.
