I modified the shaft encoder code that came with Interactive-C 3.x from four wheels to two wheels and it is below. It does not work. Can anyone pinpoint why?...

Is there a particular reason that Interactive-C 5.x freezes occasionally? I know there is 6.x but I don't want to get that as of yet. Also, is it possible to...

In the IC window I am doing: initialize_shaft_encoder_routines() turn(0, 360.0, 33) This causes the robot to turn in 360 degrees. Then I am calling this...

I must be somewhat blind and retarded. I was going for 40 iterations instead of 45 that's why it was short by 40+ degrees. Do not reply to those questions. ...

Ajay, Good job reviewing and evaluating your test results. My only other suggestion would be to consider overdriving the encoder so that you get a little finer...
