Programming Team Information
ALL MEMBERS OF THE PROGRAMMING TEAM:
- Install the NI Software for FRC 2014, either from the team's DVD or downloaded from the FRC 2014 NI Software Set Up Guide page. The serial number needed for activation will be emailed out to team members. Follow the directions for installing Option 1 (team programming in LabVIEW).
- Next, download and install the FRC 2014 Update Suite from the FRC 2014 NI Software Set Up Guide page.
- After doing the above steps, when LabVIEW 2013 is started, you should see "FRC 2014" on the LabVIEW splash screen. Re-check your installation if you do not see "FRC 2014" when you start LabView.
- Also, be sure to check out the tutorials available on the 2014 FRC LabVIEW Quick Start Guide page.
NOTE: All programmers must start to update status on what you completed during the day ten minutes before you leave. If you do not have an account on this website talk to Julie about getting an account! By doing so, we will allow all programmers know what everyone else is doing (state of their project), as well as to make the integration project run more smoothly.
NOTE: ALL programming team members must have home access to a computer with the LabVIEW software installed, whether or not they bring that computer to build meetings or not.

- Got robot's wheels to do a 360 degree turn followed by a 180 degree turn. Robot ran "straight" and could theoretically score, that is if it could shoot. Have to test more time to make sure that the autonomous code does these actions consistently!

Programming Language
FRC LabVIEW software has been used for the past four seasons (2010 - 2013).
C++ and Java are also supported by FRC and could be used if the programming team decides to do so.
