Easy c gyro help

[TerminatorTech]

Our team has been trying to figure out how to utilize the gyroscope on our robot. We have looked through the forums but can’t find anything other than robotC code and drifting solutions. Right now we have been trying to implement it into our autonomous, but if we have more than 1 different degree turn it will spin around indefinitely. Does anyone know how to fix it. (Btw I’m one of the programmers).

Have you tried to implement the ‘Gyro Test’ sample program that comes with easyC? Also, could you post the code so it’s easier to see where the error’s coming from?

Yeah we looked at them but couldn’t figure much out. I’m not at school now but on Monday I’ll post the code.

This is the code that we used, but if we have more than 1 version of it the robot just spins.

If the robot’s spinning indefinitely, it could be caused by having the condition the wrong way round, so if you’re using another version of this code (I’m guessing you mean another function ‘turn90left’ or something), try either changing the sign on the 600 or change the direction of the < or > bracket in the if (angle > -600) condition. Otherwise the program will get stuck in an infinite loop where the robot will be turning away from the angle specified in the if condition…

We tried switching around the signs but it didn’t help. Could it be that both angles are using the same variable?

[TerminatorTech]

Could be… What happens if you use two different variable names for each function (e.g. angleLeft, angleRight)?

I did it and now it works, thanks for the help.
