Problems switching between Automomous and Telop

Solved!
Go to solution

Here is what's going on, any help/ideas will be greatly appreciated:

We set up our FCS,

Run the 30 second automous mode - everything works fine

The FCS pauses at the end of the mode - good

As soon as we click to start the 2:00 minute Telop mode our Right wheel just starts spinning like crazy. We have no control over it. We do have control over other function with the game controllers, but not the right wheel. We are running FCS version 3.0.5. Two controllers. 3 DC motor controllers and 1 servo motor controller. When we run our telop program in labview test everything work the way it is suppose too. We also have Samostat and the program chooser on the NXT brick. Telop is selected on the program chooser. We have updated the firmware on the brick. Attached is our telop program. Any ideas. Please help we have a tournament tonight.

Additional info: I have attached the project. Drive and telop are the same telop programs we just tried to rename and upload. Can't figure this one out. Could it be a program chooser problem? but the FCS sees the telop program.

Hey Diony,

From a first glance I don't see anything that would cause this behavior. Can you post your entire project?

Issue resolved. The problem was that we had a bad game controler. It was sending a signal to the bot that caused one of the wheels to spin continuously when the telop mode was switched on by the FCS. Thanks for all the imput.
