Autonomous with light sensors (robot C)

okay, so for our autonomous, we have two light sensors following a line and stopping at the puck rack. but our problem is that the robot just keeps going. we need the robot to stop in three seconds, but wherever we put wait1msec(3000), it ignores the lightsensors. the program just keeps looping. does anyone know how to stop it?? :breakcomputer:

Re: Autonomous with light sensors (robot C)

Here is a simple program that you might have use for.


	Quote: task main() { time1(T1) = 0; // Resets the T1 to 0 while(time1(T1) < 3000)condition // While time from T1 is less than 3000 run next { if(SensorValue(lightSensor) < 45)// Might need to be changed b/c of the difference between light sensors { motor[motorB] = 100; motor[motorC] = 0; } else { motor[motorB] = 0; motor[motorC] = 100; } } }

Re: Autonomous with light sensors (robot C)

The only thing I would add is that its probably best to have a small delay every time through the loop. Other wise you're not giving the system any time to respond (and potentially not giving other tasks time to process)


	Code: task main() { time1(T1) = 0; // Resets the T1 to 0 while(time1(T1) < 3000)condition // While time from T1 is less than 3000 run next { /* Check your sensors here and follow the line */ wait1Msec(10); // Wait 10 msec until we check sensors again } }

if your short on timers (since there's only 4) you could easily use a variable counter in this scenario.


	Code: task main() { int loopCount = 0; while(loopCount < 300) // 300 loops of 10 msec = 3000msec = 3 sec { /* Check your sensors here and follow the line */ wait1Msec(10); // Wait 10 msec until we check sensors again loopCount += 1; } }
