1 second delays in Teleop

[Jon236]

We have been seeing a ~1 second delay in motor response from Joystick commands.  This occurs in all our motors, even though the drive motors get their values in a vi run in parallel to the main loop.  Will a few motor vi's in the Teleop vi cause this?

We are reading all our sensors in Periodic Tasks.

well, what is your loop delay set to? try lowering that.

and how many motors you have?

We have 9 motors. (4 cim, 4 window, 1 banebot). but our code is in a seperater vi that sits next to robot main.

the teleop vi delay is governed by the communications with the DS...every 20 ms.  We will move our motor vi's to a separate vi.

Since it sounds like you have a lot of parallel loops, what timing do you have in them? If you overwhelm the processor, it won't read the joysticks often enough.

Maybe you could post your project.

20 ms in motor loops, 10 ms in sensor loops
