idk the specific code to use the r1 and r2 buttons on the front of the controller to spin the motors and this is what ihave so far for my program #include “robot-config.h” using namespace vex; vex::brain Bran; vex::motor dill(vex::PORT1, vex::gearSetting::ratio18_1, false); vex::motor biily(vex…

It depends on how you want it to function. You could run the motor while the button is being pressed or one button turns the motor on and one turns it off or clicking a button once will turn the motor on and clicking it another time turns it off. Also your code has some uppercase ‘v’ in vex wh…

[image] Codec: if(controller1.ButtonA.pressing()) { rob.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, 100, vex::velocityUnits::pct); } else rob.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, 0, vex::velocityUnits::pct); sorry i was in a rush since imtired and i want to go to sleep… but will this work for it ( i wont have acc…

Yes that would work. Also it is good practice to include… vex::task::sleep(3); in your while loop.

Make that vex::task::sleep(30); because the time is in milliseconds. 3 milliseconds won’t be enough time for the loop to process input and you’ll end up skipping cycles of the loop. If you really want to push it, 10 milliseconds could work.

[image] While Loop [image] While Loop VexOS will let it run only when the main loop makes a system call that yields the CPU, like vex::task::sleep() . If main task never calls such function the second task will never get to run and vice versa. Almost, as long as you call some sort of API met…

So, I’ve been trying to implement the single button to start and top my flywheel into a ping pong robot I’ve built. I am not an experienced programmer, so what would I put in place of clickState and motor state? I’m struggling to figure that out.

If you are trying to make a button toggle a motor or motors, you don’t have to replace clickState and motorState. They are just variables that keep track of the state that your system/controller is in. You can change their name but it is not necessary. What you want to change/set is the motor that i…

Okay. So, I implemented it within my code and I have one or two slight issues. One: Where does the first statement go within my code? This portion in particular: if(motorState) Flywheel.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, 100, vex::velocityUnits::pct); if(!motorState) Flywheel.spin(vex::directionType:…

[image] 5SRobotics: Where does the first statement go within my code? Your code is likely set up something like this… int main() { while(true) //while loop { //code here will repeatedly run vex::task::sleep(7); //also make sure to include this line in the whi…

Yeah. I used to know how to make code look nice on the forum, but I forgot. Thanks for the reminder. Also, the only issue now is that it says motorState isn’t declared in the scope. Why would I have to declare it in the scope?

How do i use buttons to control the motors in v5

Apparently you don’t even need include vex::task::sleep(), though I would still put it (you need to make sure to do an API method).
