I had a big of a problem with this. I ran the labview program multiple times and it kept overheating within minutes. After multiple attempts, I found that I had left valve 3 open which leads back to the faucet. Once I closed this valve, the labview program ran much smoother. I ran the program for 25 minutes before being assured that it was running okay. I then constructed a new box and a new tray for the last few bundles. |
