i need the motors to move at maximum speed, but at the same time very precisely.
this is the code im currently using:


the problem is that whenever i increment the speed, the motor overshoots the desired encodervalue.

Do you want the motors to move together accurately or do you want a motor to go to an encoder target accurately?

i need one motor to get to an encodertarget fast & acucurately

RobotC comes with a command to move to target motor encoder.
The motor will move at whatever speed you choose and stop on or very close to the encoder value.

This code works well if the motor is not undergoing allot of strain, otherwise you will have to go about this a different way.

task main()
{


nMotorEncoder[motorA] = 0; // reset
nMotorEncoderTarget[motorA]=1000; //where you want to move to
motor[motorA] = 100; //move at full speed

while (true)
{
nxtDisplayTextLine(2,"Enc A=%d", nMotorEncoder[motorA]);
}

}

this works fine so far, but i need to know when the motor has reached the position, because i need to turn it the other way around back to encoder 0 exactly when it has reached the desired position.
e.g. move it to 20, when it has reached 20, move it to 0 and so on.

task main()
{
nMotorEncoder[motorA] = 0; // reset
nMotorEncoderTarget[motorA]=1000; //where you want to move to
motor[motorA] = 100; //move at full speed

while (nMotorRunState[motorA] != runStateIdle)
{
//nxtDisplayTextLine(2,"Enc A=%d", nMotorEncoder[motorA]);
}
}

When using a motor target, the motor goes through different stages of power output. Ramping up, ramping down, idle, steady state, and holding encoder value.

When in idle, the motor is not moving anymore so it is on or very close to the target.

If you want to read more on these commands, double click on Motors in the Code Templates tool bar and it will bring up descriptions and brief explanations of the different motor commands.

The encoder target works nicely with low motor strain applications, otherwise you have to take a different approach. If you are interested, check out this forum topic too.
