Re: Time tracking on pic microcontroller What is time tracking?
I'm sure you can, but it depends what you mean...  |

Re: Time tracking on pic microcontroller For instance, i move my robot forward and and start clocking its time. Then when it decides to turn I can check the time it moved forward. This is what I mean by time tracking.

Re: Time tracking on pic microcontroller Yes, this is possible using a component of ROBOTC called a timer. You may want to read this wiki page: http://www.robotc.net/wiki/VEX2_Functions_Timing
Here's an example of how this could be done:
This assumes you have two subroutines called driveForward() and turn(), and that driveForward decides when to stop. At the end of the program, the time from starting to drive forward until the turn is stored in the variable timeUntilTurn. |
