I am trying to program my team’s catapult to automatically go down to a specific angle after every launch automatically via Rotation Sensor, but it isn’t working properly. When I run the code on the robot, only the functions in the task can run, and nothing else works (drivetrain, Intake, etc.). A…

Put a delay in your task function’s loop. Delays are very very very very very important. You are starving the V5’s resources without one. Also, you are creating that task on every iteration of the loop right now. Create the task outside of the for loop. Also, did you define the task function inside…

Where should I initialize the Motors in the code if not in opcontrol?

In the same place I did in my example. Above all the functions so that all the functions can use them. You can do the set gearing, set reversed, etc commands inside of the initialize function, which is the first thing to run when the program starts

That worked great. But now, within the task, the motor does not stop spinning even then the rotation sensor reaches the specificized value. How do I make the motor stop when it reaches the rotation sensor value specified? code (just task) void my_task_fn(void* param) { while (true) { RSenso…

you are resetting the encoder position and then immediately getting it. That means your CataPosition variable is always 0. don’t use == or != to figure out how to move the cata position. Use <, >, <=, or >=. in the inner while loop, you don’t update the CataPosition variable. There is also not a de…

How and where should I update the CataPosition Variable?

Inside the inner loop. CataPosition = RSensor.get_position();

I changed the code but the catapult is still going backwards endlessly, even when I set the angle low. void my_task_fn(void* param) { while (true) { int CataPosition = RSensor.get_position(); if (master.get_digital(DIGITAL_L1)) { Slap.move_velocity(-100); } else if (Cat…

Again, you haven’t updated the value of CataPosition inside of the while loop that reads while(CataPosition <= 1). And there is no delay inside that while loop either.
