I was wondering if the angle parameter in the drivetrain turn command automatically uses the Gyro connected to the Brain or I need to manually make it use the connected Gyro through a loop. Does this: dt.turnFor(-160.5, rotationUnits::deg, 40, velocityUnits::pct); equal this?: while(Gyro.angle()…

See this [image] VEXcode, motor groups and drivetrain example VEXcode Pro V5 Text Tech Support There have been quite a few requests for instructions on how to use motor groups and creating a drivetrain with more than 2 motors in VEXcode. I’m going to discuss these classes…

if dt is an instance of a drivetrain, then dt.turnFor will use the gyro if you have configured it that way (in which case it would be an instance of a smartdrive). If you configured without a gyro then it will use the motor encoders (and the wheel circumference etc.) to do the turn. The turn we do…

I have not intialized the drivetrain as an instance of smartdrive but simply as: vex::motor_group l(LeftFrontMotor, LeftRearMotor); vex::motor_group r(RightFrontMotor, RightRearMotor); vex::drivetrain dt(l, r); Do I need to initialize the drivetrain as a smartdrive in order for it to use the gyro?…
