Here is a simple example of how to do timing. This will turn the motor off for 1 second, then on for 1 second, then off.. etc. (Note: I don't have the BRAIN...
Last year, the feedback on the Engineering Notebook encouraged our team to provide more ongoing documentation and meeting notes. We have tried to have a ...
Hey, I'm part of the Horn Lake BEST thingamajig. I'm trying to implement a feature in my code, but I have absoutely no idea where to start. Im using the...
There is some talk about timing over in the "How to make BRAIN run programs" post (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/bestinc/message/124). You might start...
In addition to the pointer to other message on timing by reading the realtimeclock, Here is an example of a statemachine: // toggle servo position when...
This is my first year in BEST, and I am a mere mentor, but I would suggest that you consider age-appropriate goals. 5th graders probably don't have the...
Oops! I didn't really answer your question. If you have a mentor dedicated to taking notes, I would think that it be more helpful that you have a mentor and a...
There is an error in the existing stick split library that results in one of the limit switch directions not being properly assigned. This error has been fixed...
Why would the following occur: I bootload the DriverMap program when the BRAIN is turned on...and it works like a charm. I bootload the DriverMap program when...
Would someone please give me a hint on how to make DriveMap work while being able to run a servo on Channel 3 and a motor on Channel 4? Thanks for your help....
Have you tried this on a different USB port? Or on a different computer? Apparently the USB connection is not powering the BRAIN, but since it works with a...
We had a battery charger with connection trouble; we had to apply torque to the connection during charging or no current would flow. This was true for both...
The connector should be an Anderson Power Pole connector. http://www.andersonpower.com/products/standard-powerpole.html Tyco also makes a version of these...
It is interesting or at least useful that you have trouble with both batteries on both chargers, but no report of trouble with using the batteries on the...
The tether serves the function of the Radio Receiver, and lets you tether the RC transmitter to the BRAIN without using Radio waves. It is point-ful under at...
You'll need it in the pit area on game day. There aren't enough frequencies to go around and we don't want anyone to interfere with your robot while you are...
before getting too involved in taking apart and repairing (or potentially making worse) your charger and/or battery connectors, please contact your hub kit...
Absolutely nothing. If you want forward to be up and right, switch the motor + and - connections to the BRAIN. If you want 'normal' driving, forward up, back...
We started tuesday and testes the motors and they worked perfectly than the very next day we tried to do the exact same thing and it failed to respond to the...
Here are some things to try: 1. Think about what might have changed since Tuesday. If you changed anything, undo it and try again. 2. Are your batteries...
... Yes. For example, the code { int rcVal=getRcValue(0,0,100); setServo(0,rcVal); setServo(1,rcVal); } will use RC channel 0 to control servos 0 and 1....
... Too late; I used a jeweler's screwdriver and used it to pop up the contact. Besides, this replacement charger had the same problem as the original....
I'm in the process of figuring the code out.(easier when colored in my downloaded editor) The longer I bash my head against it, the more I understand. Let's ...
You can build the function as you described, but the problem you have to watch out for is that while your wait function is executing, you won't bbe updating...
