Labview (Coding Help) One button inverses/un-inverses controls?

Solved!
Go to solution

So I don't know if this is what this forum is for, but as one of two coders in my team (+ the main one), I really get pressured by my team to make everything work, and I can't figure something out for the life of me!

 

So here's what my team wants:

-One button (In our case button 3 [Y]) needs to invert axes X and Y in our drive system when pressed, until pressed again.

 

I've tried about 10 times so far and every time I either ruin the code and the robot freezes, or we have to hold Y.

I've tried the RS Bistable Flip Flop vi, but maybe I just dont know how to use it???

 

Thank you all and sorry I can't code xD,

I think this site works really well when I want to figure out some button actions.

I'd looks for "Button Toggle Action (2014)" to get what you want.

I agree with JY,

 

I would use a Toggle to switch between the two behaviors (as describes here: Use Joystick Button to Toggle Between Cases Using LabVIEW for FRC) and then would make one of the cases switch the inputs (maybe negating them too...).

I think I might have done something wrong, but I can't see where.

Nothing inverses now. Those values go up to a multiplication on the X and Y axes.

Sorry again for my inexperience!

your false case should look like this.

When the button is not pressed you want to keep the previous value.

Thanks! This works!

The only thing is that it starts immobile, you have to hit Y to begin the process. We can deal with this though!

Thank you!

Here is a simplified version of what you are trying to do.

and it may fix your issue of starting at zero

Hey, we are trying to make this for our motor outputs, and I cannot seem to find the orange node for the program. In which library can we find the node? Thank you!
