Whats wrong with this code?

[Greg McKaskle]

I don't see a problem with the code that I see.

First, I'd look at the Diagnostics tab to make sure there aren't messages explaining that there was a misspelling or other explanation. Make sure that the watchdog hasn't shut down the robot since I don't see a feed anywhere on the screen.

Finally, with the robot in that state, place some probes via right clicking on wires, and push a button.

One thing I'll throw out is that 10% motor power or 0.1 may not be enough to move the motor. If you see that your logic is correct and you are sending 10%, change the constants to controls so that you can tweak the values more easily, find the values that work, then make current values default.

Also, button one should be easier to debug as you can look at the solenoid module LEDs.

Thank you for replying. I do not know what the problem could be, in the diagnostics window it does not show any error messages. And plus not even the solenoid extends. No changes occur when i press Number 2 (to move the motor) nothing happens.

When i started looking into the last years robot, i connected everything and enabled the robot. The robot worked fine, except we had one problem which i wanted to fix, which was that the motor connected to the proximity switch did not turn back. so i opened the code that was in the robot, which should be this one, because it had the latest date and it was named the FINALrobotcode. The only thing i changed was change motor speed from 0.1 to -0.1 when armed switch comes on. Then...All of a sudden something happend.

The code did not work and still does not...Help pleaseee

You have a couple choices. If you believe that putting the 0.1 back to its old values will work, you might give that a try. Or, you can start debugging it with probes and the like. Determine if the joystick buttons get to the diagram and correspond to the button state. Determine if values are really being set on the motor controller block.

This will help to determine if it is just the SW, or possibly the electronics that needs debugging.
