EASY C Multiple Commands

Hi all!!

Is it possible to add 4 different command for 1 motor?

What I’m trying to do is to get 2 different power settings (back and forward) to the same motor.

I am programming on EasyC.

Please advise!

Thanks in advance!

I don’t use easyC, but if I get what your saying it would be something like this:
(pseudocode)

if(button to go forward is pressed)
{
	motor = Full Power Forward
}
else if(button to go backwards is pressed)
{
	motor = Full Power Backwards
}

// If you want the motor to stop if your not pressing any buttons:
else
{
	motor = Stopped
}

Not exactly, that will be just a single button for a single command I guess,

I am trying something like this,

For Motor #6

Button 6 Up = 127
Button 6 Down = -127

Button 8 Up = 80
Button 8 Down = -80

I don’t know if this is more clear…

I am not sure what exactly what you mean, so here is my terrible way of explaining what I think you want.

If this is in Driver Mode:

  1. click joystick
  2. click and drag a joystick digital to motor
  3. set it up to what you want
  4. and repeat for the four times

If this is in Auton. Mode:

  1. create new user function
  2. go to outputs
  3. drag a motor module to your new function
  4. choose what you want for your module
  5. repeat

Hope this helps, ask if you need any new help. I can help if you give me more info. :slight_smile:

So you want a single button to have multiple purposes in a sort of single button toggle?

Here is some somewhat modified code from one of the threads by @Oliver W :

bool buttonState;
int Button;
int prevButton;

while (true)
{
    Button = VexRT[Btn5U];
    // If you press the button and 
    // you were not previously pressing it
    if(Button == 1 && prevButton == 0 ) 
    {
    	// if the button state variable = 1
    	// do certain actions
        if(buttonState == 1 )
        {
            motor = 127;
            buttonState = 0;
        }
        // If the button state variable = 0
        // doo another set of actions
        else if(buttonState = 0) 
        {
            motor = -127;
            buttonState = 1;
        }
    }
    prevButton = Button;
}

Making it for two buttons would require a few changes.

EDIT: While sitting here pondering what code could work, I came up with this example based off of Oliver’s Code:

bool buttonState, buttonState2;
int Button, Button2;
int prevButton, prevButton2;

while (true)
{
    Button = VexRT[Btn5U];
    Button2 = VexRT[Btn5D];
    // If you press the button and 
    // you were not previously pressing it
    if(Button == 1 && prevButton == 0 ) 
    {
    	// if the button state variable = 1
    	// do certain actions
        if(buttonState == 1 )
        {
            motor = 127;
            buttonState = 0;
        }
        // If the button state variable = 0
        // doo another set of actions
        else if(buttonState = 0) 
        {
            motor = -127;
            buttonState = 1;
        }
    }
    else if(Button2 == 1 && prevButton2 == 0 ) 
    {
    	// if the button state variable = 1
    	// do certain actions
        if(buttonState2 == 1 )
        {
            motor = 80;
            buttonState2 = 0;
        }
        // If the button state variable = 0
        // doo another set of actions
        else if(buttonState2 = 0) 
        {
            motor = -80;
            buttonState2 = 1;
        }
    }
    prevButton = Button;
    prevButton2 = Button2;
}

Hopefully it, or something similar to it works :stuck_out_tongue:
