IR board

Guess what, shadow returns with more questions…

First concerns post on usfirst.org, does the IR plug in work for robot contoller?
If not were i can iget one, or is it easier to make one (one week till regional)?

When IR board is not active (signal 1 not sent) will switch 1 on the robot controller read a 1 or 0 (got 4 options on this 2 yes, 2 no so im not sure)?

Code:


/*IR inports*/
/*digital inputs 1-4 are used for IR board*/

#define func1 rc_dig_in01
#define func2 rc_dig_in02
#define func3 rc_dig_in03
#define func4 rc_dig_in04

/*all the other stuff*/

inIRSignal = 0
if(func1 ==1 ){
 IRSignal = 1;
{else if(func2 ==1 ){
 IRSignal = 2)
{else if(func3 ==1 ){
 IRSignal = 3)
{else if(func4 == 1){
 IRSignal = 4;
}

switch(IRSinal){

 case 0:
  {no button pushed yet}
  break;
 case 1:
  {button 1 pushed}
  break;
 case 2:
  {button 2 pushed}
  break;
 case 3:
  {button 3 pushed}
  break;
 case 4:
  {button 4 pushed}
  break;

}

Will this piece of code save the IR board command (switch 1 tripped), and keep that the switch will stay tripped for entire hybird? And will the code keep the same variables?

If this code will not work what changes must be made?

If this will work, after corrected, or not, were should it be inserted

well thats a very long post.

so ill post the next question on a new post

If im incorrect on any thing please tell me.
The gear tooth sensor doen’t automatical count the teeth that pass a program must, this being true, were can i find one?

I think you have misswritten your names, ie irsingal==1,ir signal. and your variable set as unsigned char will probably save memory.

idk, you wrote it.

should it be that?

the amazing thing is that your only on when i, i even check your other postes, it’s kind of freaky.

What im saying is is that the actual typing replace with,
unsigned char IRSingal = 0 ;
if(func1 ==1 ){
IRSingal = 1;
}
else if(func2 ==1 ){
IRSignal = 2;
}
else if(func3 ==1 ){
IRSignal = 3;
}
else if(func4 == 1){
IRSignal = 4;
}

switch(IRSignal){

lol:yikes:

im signing off for the night, so if anyone else has something to add ill check in the morning

I mean…

unsigned char IRSignal = 0 ;
if(func1 ==1 ){
IRSignal = 1;
}
else if(func2 ==1 ){
IRSignal = 2;
}
else if(func3 ==1 ){
IRSignal = 3;
}
else if(func4 == 1){
IRSignal = 4;
}

switch(IRSignal){
