[FRC 2015] Robot Framework Tutorial

[Kevin_F]

In this tutorial you will walk through the functionality contained in the framework supplied with LabVIEW FRC.

A programming framework is piece of default code that provides the overall structure, or architecture, of your program. It defines interaction between different code sections, and provides designated places

to insert specific functionality. The frameworks are supplied as a starting point; they let you focus on actual functionality in the limited time available to you, rather than program architecture.

I don't know why you would have to set the center value and gain value of the accelerometer every iteration of the periodic task loop. These values are the same as when the accelerometer was initialized.

Someone should make a 2016 LabVIEW FIRST robotics programming guide. It would be very useful with the new RoboRio compared to the previous documents concerning the cRio. Thanks.

The 2015 version uses the roboRIO.  Was there something in there, specifically, that could have been explained better to help out?

[Ash5851]

Yeah, so what does the bottom section of the code do? In the while loops

[BoKnows]

Which page do you mean?  There's quite a few while loops in the document.
