Encoder Target and time

I'm at the first movement in Palm Island. The program I've written only gets me to the target if I nail the time factor in addition to the Encoder Target number. With the physical bots we simply allow more than ample time to reach the encoder target. With the VW bot, the bot will over shoot the target if I program too much time. Why is timing factoring in?


	Code: task main() { nSyncedMotors = synchBC; nSyncedTurnRatio =100; nMotorEncoder[motorB] =0; nMotorEncoderTarget[motorB] = 1236; motor[motorB] = 50; motor[motorC] = 50; wait1Msec(3500); }

Re: Encoder Target and time

Hi Chris,
nMotorEncoderTarget is not currently implemented in RVW.

You can make your own version of this functionality by checking nMotorEncoder in a while loop:


	Code: nMotorEncoder[motorB] =0; while(nMotorEncoder[motorB] < 1236) { motor[motorB] = 50; motor[motorC] = 50; } motor[motorB] = 0; motor[motorC] = 0;

Re: Encoder Target and time

Will the while loop encoder program work with the RVW or does RVW only work with time and speed?
Thanks for your help.

Re: Encoder Target and time

Yes, the while loop encoder will work in RVW.
