Tip Jar #8 - Autonomous Mode in the FRC Basic Robot Framework

Updated 2010 FRC Videos Now Online:

This Blog entry is the fourth in a series intended primarily for FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) teams and their mentors.

This entry is intended to introduce how to program Autonomous code within the Basic Robot Framework.

In this blog entry, I touch on:
How the Basic framework launches and shuts down the Autonomous Independent.vi
How to modify the Robot Global.vi to allow your autonomous code to access input and output devices
Error chaining to ensure sequential behavior
The Watchdog timer

Again, I ask that all those LabVIEW experts out there, please get out there and mentor a team near you! You will be surprised and motivated by their ability to learn LabVIEW and impress you.

Please! If you like (or hate) what you saw, please leave a comment by clicking here.
