My team just swapped to labview this year and we are experiencing some difficulties relating to it. One of these difficulties is changing arcade drive to tank drive. We followed some tutorials:

and a few others similar to it, but none of them have worked for us. It just stays as arcade drive.
If you could help us do this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Hey,
You would change the drive by right clicking the Arcade Drive VI and going to replace> Robot Drive Palette>Tank Drive. And Save. If that don’t work then I would suggest just placing the Tank Drive VI after deleting the Arcade Drive VI. It’s under the WPI>Robot Drive>Tank Drive VI. Then wire your joystick inputs. If you need more help, feel free to ask for it!
but where can I get the tank drive file for lab view?
Install the LabVIEW Update to get all the 2011 vi’s and framework.
Software Updates
Be careful though. If you just strictly change the module, it might not be set up right. Make sure to check your joysticks and pwms before you deploy the code.
