In these 3 lines of code, "SensorValue", is the way of telling the sensor what you want the value to be. Type the following: SensorValue = SensorGyro ĥ. Type the following: SensorValue = SensorNone Īdd the name of your gyroscope between the "". Make sure what you are going to type is in the Pre-Autonomous loopģ. When programming an autonomous, you want it to be as accurate as possible, and to do so, adding a couple sensors will help A LOT! Programming these sensors can be difficult, but setting them up, is extremely simple! Once you have setup your sensor in the Motor and Sensor Setup, there is not much you have to do to configure them:ġ. *Click image to enlarge* Configuring/Resetting Sensors: Functions are programmed only once at the top, but you can call it within your Autonomous whenever you need to, this makes programming A LOT easier, and cleaner! Functions for Autonomous:Īt the very top of your program, after the motor setup but before the Pre-Autonomous, you have the option to write and/or include functions. If you want a joystick to move the robot forward, while the other joystick turns it, this is where you would program it! In this mode, if you try to program an Autonomous to be triggered when you push a button, it can be done, however it is more advanced and can be quite difficult to operate.
#ROBOTC PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES DRIVER#
Within the "while" loop, this is where you program your driver control. In this code, everything that you want the robot to do MUST be controlled by your program, as trying to implement a drive program WILL NOT work in the Autonomous section of a competition.
This section of the Competition Template, is where you put your program-controlled drive, for the beginning of every match, otherwise known as the "Autonomous". This means that if you need a Gyro sensor to be reset to 0, so the autonomous turns to the correct degree, this is where you do it! Autonomous: The Pre-Autonomous is the field where you tell the robot what to do, before the competition match starts. DO NOT edit any of these, unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing.
#ROBOTC PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES CODE#
Do not try to change these values directly in the code while you are still learning, stay with the graphical Motor Setup!Ĭompetition includes, load all the files and values that the program uses to make it work in a competition. Once you have successfully completed the Motor and Sensor setup, you should now have several lines of new code at the very top of your Competition Template. An example of a completed Motor setup can be found in the gallery above. IMPORTANT NOTE: You may have to reverse a motor, depending on how it is positioned on the robot.Ĥ.
In the "Type" drop-down, select what type of motor or sensor you are using. Enter a name for the motor and/or sensor beside the correct port number. You will have many tabs to choose from, to setup the motor ports, navigate to the "Motors" tab, for Analog Sensors, navigate to the "VEX 2.0 Analog Sensors 1-8" tab, etc.ģ. Go to "Robot > Motors and Sensors Setup"Ģ. Essentially, make sure your robot has at least a chassis with motors on it before you start programming!ġ. If you do not setup these motors, it will be a pain to change all of your motor names in your entire code once that is done. The first thing you should do with any RobotC code, is setup your motors and sensors, so that we can begin to program a drive. If these values are changed incorrectly, your program WILL NOT work! Motor and Sensor Setup: IMPORTANT NOTE: When first opening the Competition Template, do not change ANY values, unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing. To open your first competition template, where we will do all of the programming, go to "File > New > Competition Template". Once this has been selected, we are ready to start programming a competition template! Opening your first Competition Template: To do so, go to "Robot > Platform Type > VEX Robotics > VEX 2.0 Cortex". The first thing we need to do, after activating the license, is to make sure that the proper platform is selected. *Click images to enlarge* Selecting the right platform:
