Post How to run dual programs
Hi, I have been trying to run dual programs in one for the past forever. and was wondering if you guy's could help me figure out what's wrong with the coding.
Code:
#pragma config(Sensor, S1,     lightSensor,         sensorLightActive)
#pragma config(Motor,  motorA,          motor,         tmotorNormal, PIDControl, encoder)
#pragma config(Motor,  motorB,          motor,         tmotorNormal, PIDControl, encoder)
//*!!Code automatically generated by 'ROBOTC' configuration wizard               !!*//

void followLine()
{
  while(SensorValue(lightSensor) < 45)
  {
    motor[motorB] = 100;
    motor[motorC] = 100;
  }

  {
  motor[motorB] = 0;
  motor[motorC] = 0;
  wait1Msec(3000);
  followLine();
  }
}

task main()
{
 
 {
   motor[motorA] = 100;
   motor[motorB] = 100;
   wait1Msec(1000);
 }
 
 {
   motor[motorA] = 20;
   motor[motorB] = 80;
   wait1Msec(1000);
 }
 
 {
  motor[motorA] = 50;
  motor[motorB] = 50;
  wait1Msec(1000);
 }
 
 {
  motor[motorA] = 10;
  motor[motorB] = 80;
  wait1Msec(1000);
 }
 
 {
  motor[motorA] = 100;
  motor[motorB] = 100;
  wait1Msec(2000);
 }
 
 {
  motor[motorA] = -100;
  motor[motorB] = -100;
  wait1Msec(1000);
 }
 
 {
  motor[motorA] = 0;
  motor[motorB] = 0;
 
 }
 

 
}

What exactly do you want to do? What dual programs do you want to run? What happens as of now vs. what did you expect to happen? The more information that you provide, the more help that you'll be able to receive.

I want it to run the code under the task main() first. Then i want it to start the code I have under void followLine()

The command for running a function is:
Code:
followline();
You just put the name and then the parameters(if any). It's that simple!!

Post Re: How to run dual programs
to run you function simply put the function call in the main task after your code. In your particular case though, your function will not work because it uses recursion, and ROBOTC does not support recursion as of now. However, I see no need for you to use recursion in this case. Just put a while(true) loop around the code that you want to execute.

Like this:
Code:
#pragma config(Sensor, S1,     lightSensor,         sensorLightActive)
#pragma config(Motor,  motorA,          motor,         tmotorNormal, PIDControl, encoder)
#pragma config(Motor,  motorB,          motor,         tmotorNormal, PIDControl, encoder)
//*!!Code automatically generated by 'ROBOTC' configuration wizard               !!*//

void followLine()
{
  while(true){
  while(SensorValue(lightSensor) < 45)
  {
    motor[motorB] = 100;
    motor[motorC] = 100;
  }

  {
  motor[motorB] = 0;
  motor[motorC] = 0;
  wait1Msec(3000);
  }
}
}

task main()
{
 
{
   motor[motorA] = 100;
   motor[motorB] = 100;
   wait1Msec(1000);
}

{
   motor[motorA] = 20;
   motor[motorB] = 80;
   wait1Msec(1000);
}

{
  motor[motorA] = 50;
  motor[motorB] = 50;
  wait1Msec(1000);
}

{
  motor[motorA] = 10;
  motor[motorB] = 80;
  wait1Msec(1000);
}

{
  motor[motorA] = 100;
  motor[motorB] = 100;
  wait1Msec(2000);
}

{
  motor[motorA] = -100;
  motor[motorB] = -100;
  wait1Msec(1000);
}

{
  motor[motorA] = 0;
  motor[motorB] = 0;
 
}

followLine();
 
}
