Re: Auto mode... need help
I have to say, after a season and a half of asking the strategy guy how long he wants it to go out, then stepping into Calculator, then punching the wrong numbers, then typing the wrong number I just calculated into my code (now converted to 26.2ms cycles), then seeing it totally mess up when I put it on the field...having a *real* timer is SO nice. I implemented the hardware timer, so now I have a Windows-style GetTickCount() type function, and it works very accurately. The scouts tell me that the bot needs to be in front of the other bot in 2 seconds: I give them 2 seconds. Not 2000ms / 26.2ms = 76 cycles--blech. Those never worked right for me.
What I haven't solved yet is the overflow issue. What data type do I use to hold the huge number? I have no idea. I can't reset the tick count to 0 each time it hits the upper limit my code is waiting for because I have more than one part of my code using this tick count. I think I'll use the hugest data type I can get--I'll have to look it up; I don't know C in and out.
