Simple Autonomous Mode Example

[deltacoder1020]

A NOTE TO ANYONE USING THE ABOVE CODE:

I made a slight error in the definitions of the SECS_TO_TICKS and MSECS_TO_TICKS macros. You'll need to change them to the following:

#define SECS_TO_TICKS(a)	( ((long)(a)) * 10000 / 262 )
//And milliseconds too:
#define MSECS_TO_TICKS(a)	( ((long)(a)) * 10 / 262 )

otherwise, the values will overflow for a value greater than about 3 seconds.

I'm sure rookie teams without much programming experience will find that helpful.

another simple auton example is our code... basicly it goes strait. then it turns about 75degrees. then it goes foward, opens its arms, and swings and knocks off the ball. it is based on a wheel counter inturpt... so you can make it go as fast or as slow as you want.

  		relay8_fwd = !rc_dig_in18;  			// Power pump only if pressure switch is on. 
  		relay8_rev = 0;
//this start start it moving... ladies and gents start your engins
		if(count >= 0 && count < 2) {
 			pwm15 = 127 + 50;			//drive strait
			pwm16 = 127 + 50;			//drive strait
//turn to get the ball
	if(count> 12 && count < 14) {
		foward = 0;					//turn off correction algoritiom (cuz were turning duh)
 			pwm15 = 127 + 50;			//make right wheel turn fowards
			pwm16 = 127 - 50;			//make left wheel turn backwards
			pwm01 = 254;				//make arm go up
		}
		if(rc_dig_in16 == 1) { 				//make sure arm doesnt go to high!!!
			pwm01 = 127;
		}
//then we have to go strait slightly to get to the ball
		if(count > 14 && count < 16) {
 			pwm15 = 127 + 50;			//go foward
			pwm16 = 127 + 50;			//go foward
			relay3_fwd = 1;				//open the gripers...
			relay3_rev = 0;				//open the grpiers...
		}
//now turn to AND close the gippers to knock/grab ball off... combo move HI-YAH
		if(count > 18 && count < 23) {
 			pwm15 = 127 - 50;			//turn the other way
			pwm16 = 127 + 50;			//turn the other way
			relay3_fwd = 0;				//close grippers
			relay3_rev = 1;				//close grippers
			
		}

//NOW we shut down motors
	if(count > 24 && count < 100) {
 		pwm15 = 127;					//turn the other way
		pwm16 = 127;					//turn the other way
		}

as for the inturpst... that is not as hard as every one is making them out to be. there is a great white paper called inturpts for dummies, i sugjest you read it if your intrested. ive never done them before and it worked very well.
