Global Variables

Attempting to write Joystick Values to Global Variables. New at this part. When creating the Global Variable how to select the data from the Robot Global Data.vi. Everytime I try to create a write variable it wants to create it’s own panel. If I create the label in Robot Global then drag over it shows as a read only. I know I’m missing something very simple but I’ve searched and searched but can’t figure it out.

Thanks.

Curious as to why you’d want to write Joystick values to Globals, since they already are globally available?

As to creating Globals, see if this helps any: http://www.team358.org/files/programming/ControlSystem2015-2019/labview/CreateGlobal.pdf

Thank you, that answered my question. As to why, we have previously barely gotten by on our programming and wanted to ramp up the quality. So looking over the released code from a very successful team I saw that is how they were doing it so I figured I would organize my variables like they did.
