Re: arduino victor 884 and a cim
 

Finally found time to work on this again, on the contrary I am using a victor, sorry if i said spike somewhere.
just wired it up and copied in the code and it works as it is programmed for, tankdrive, im going to see about modifying it a bit for arcade, ill post results soon

Re: arduino victor 884 and a cim
 

so i have worked through it and i think i have AN answer, but definatly not THE answer. I see a benefit to tankdrive, this deadzone is going to make turning horrendous

#include <Servo.h>

Servo LeftMotor; //not really a servo!
Servo RightMotor; //not really a servo!



int JoyRL = A0; //value of Y axis on left joystick
int JoyFB = A1; //value of Y asis on RIght joystick

int FBval = 90; // variable to store the read FBvalue
int RLval = 90; // variable to store the read RLvalue


void setup() {
LeftMotor.attach(9);
RightMotor.attach(10);
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
FBval = analogRead(JoyFB);
FBval = map(FBval, 0, 1023, 0, 180)+10; //joystick miscalibration brought me here
RLval = analogRead(JoyRL);
RLval = map(RLval, 0, 1023, 180, 0);
delay(100);
analogRead(FBval);
Serial.println(FBval);

if(FBval < 85 || FBval > 95) { //Deadband
forward();
} else if(RLval < 85 || RLval > 95) { //Deadband
side();
}else{
RightMotor.write(90);
LeftMotor.write(90);
}

}
void forward() {
RightMotor.write(FBval);
LeftMotor.write(FBval);
}

void side() {
RightMotor.write(RLval);
LeftMotor.write(RLval);
}

now my jerry rigged motor inclusive wiring system just fell apart for the like millionth time so i cant know for sure, but what i saw on the victor is that it drops out a lot unless the joystick is in the middle, if the light is blinking up can i forget about seeing movement in the cim? if so i can almost guarentee that the problem is in the if/then/else statements im using, any suggestions on how to make it so those work together rather than against eachother?
