Re: IR Sensor-tracker.zip

Are there certain files from tracker code (*.c, *.h) that need to be placed into the FRCcode to allow them to be compiled and linked?
Add these to your MPLAB project.
tracker.c
tracker.h

Use the routines in the tracker s/w as a guide to changes in the rest of the code.
Add in user_routines.c:
Code:
#include "receiver.h"
#include "tracker.h"
in User_Initialization()
Code:
Initialize_Receiver(); /* not required as it's also called by Initialize_Tracker() */
Initialize_Tracker();
In user_routines_fast.c add the whole "// external interrupts 3 through 6" interrupt section for the IR sensor interrupts.
Code:
	else if (INTCONbits.RBIF) // external interrupts 3 through 6
	{
		Port_B = PORTB; // remove the "mismatch condition" by reading port b            
		INTCONbits.RBIF = 0; // clear the interrupt flag
		Port_B_Delta = Port_B ^ Old_Port_B; // determine which bits have changed
		Old_Port_B = Port_B; // save a copy of port b for next time around
	 
		if(Port_B_Delta & 0x10) // did external interrupt 3 change state? - IR sensor 1
		{
			Int_3_Handler(Port_B & 0x10 ? 1 : 0); // call the interrupt 3 handler (in receiver.c)
		}

		if(Port_B_Delta & 0x20) // did external interrupt 4 change state? - IR sensor 2
		{
			Int_4_Handler(Port_B & 0x20 ? 1 : 0); // call the interrupt 4 handler (in receiver.c)
		}

		if(Port_B_Delta & 0x40) // did external interrupt 5 change state? - IR sensor 3
		{
			Int_5_Handler(Port_B & 0x40 ? 1 : 0); // call the interrupt 5 handler (in receiver.c)
		}
		
		if(Port_B_Delta & 0x80) // did external interrupt 6 change state? - IR sensor 4
		{
			Int_6_Handler(Port_B & 0x80 ? 1 : 0); // call the interrupt 6 handler (in receiver.c)

		}
	}
And add the tracker servo processing in Process_Data_From_Local_IO()

Code:
	static unsigned int Old_Clock = 0;

	if (Clock > Old_Clock) // stay synchronized to beacon data updates (this is important)
	{
		Track_Beacon(LEFT); // allow the left beacon tracker state machine to run
		Track_Beacon(RIGHT); // allow the right beacon tracker state machine to run
		
		if ((Tracker_Data[left].Status == BOTH_IN_VIEW) &&
			(Tracker_Data[right].Status == BOTH_IN_VIEW))
		{
			// both trackers have an angular solution; calculate beacon vector
			// here using the known baseline distance between the trackers and
			// angles derived from the two Tracker_Data[].Position variables

			// calculate new drive motor PWM values here

		}
	// finally, update the servo motor positions
	LEFT_TRACKER_SERVO = Tracker_Data[left].Position;
	RIGHT_TRACKER_SERVO = Tracker_Data[right].Position;
	
	Old_Clock = Clock; // take a snapshot of the clock
	}
