basic robot main vi

[bob5g5]

What is the best way of adding a VI to the basics robot main VI.

For example I wrote a pid vi to control a motor, should it be added the same way the Autonomous VI is added, as a static reference VI ?

The autonomous independent is a special case because it is part of the framework and is run as a seperate task. You shouldn't use it as an example.

What you probably want to do is on the functions pallete, choose select a vi and select the one you created.See Tutorial and Video: Dataflow, SubVI, and Parallelism in NI LabVIEW

Have you looked at the PID algorithms already implemented in LabVIEW? They are great. See The Effective Use of PID Control in Robotics Systems

Dear bob5g5,

You may also want to reference the Best Practices For Using the FRC cRIO Project Frameworktutorial. This tutorial explains how to add code to a framework.
