I was looking at the VEXcode Pro V5 vex::thread documentation ( VEX Help (vexcode.cloud) ), but I don’t really understand how to make a thread and make it run code.

ok, you really don’t need to worry about the whole detach() function. example is here for VEXcode. [image] or here for pro [image]

It may just be that the best coders don’t ask questions or post their code here. I’m also assuming something similar to the negativity bias is going on (an example is where only people who have bad things to say about a product post a review). In the same way, only people who need help understand…

I used tasks in RobotC all the time since it was very easy and the overarching RobotC made it pretty idiot proof. I do most things in blocks now days since I need a quick 30 second example on how to do things. When the V2 IQ brains start showing up as a shipping item then I’ll want to use C to be…

[image] UvuvwevweOnyetenye: why does no one really use multi threading that much? I think it’s partially @jpearman and his team’s fault. :wink: Robot teams are standing on his shoulders. In RobotC tasks were used to handle blocking. A programmer would put the arm code into a different task …

[image] jpearman: for example, separating the display of status on the V5 screen from code controlling motors Actually, this was exactly what I was thinking this would be useful for. I’m going to start coding a better graphics API since in vexcode it is very annoying to do pretty much anythin…

[image] UvuvwevweOnyetenye: does this sound like too many for the Brain? I think it partly depends on how long of waits you have. If half of your loops have a 2 second wait with every loop, it takes less brain power than all of them having only 3 msec waits. With that said, I don’t really kno…

Having different wait loops is smart, since I don’t need graphics to be super fast and well updated. A 200 ms wait could be fine. Thanks

There’s probably 70 posts on the forum man. Look it ip

I would suggest searching the forum to figure out what PID stands for and how to code it. I made a tutorial a while ago on how to code PID if you’d like to look at it. It also includes multithreading as well
