Right now, my team and I are creating a robot with an intake. We are using the drivetrain aspect of the code on the two motors being used for intake, so that they can move simultaneously. But we need another drivetrain-type aspect so that we can move the motors connected to the wheels at the same ti…

no, you can’t have more than one drivetrain. spin two at a time: motor.spin(direction, power, units); motor2.spin(direction, power, units); //OR //using blocking commands motor.spincommand(params, false); motor2.spincommand(params, true); using motor groups motor_group name(motor,motor2); name…

[image] Deicer: no, you can’t have more than one drivetrain. To be more precise, the graphical configuration wizard won’t let you configure more than one drivetrain. As far as I’m aware there’s nothing stopping you from initializing multiple drivetrains manually. But if you are new to c++ its…

How do I configure multiple drivetrains without the graphical interface? Do you have some example code? Thanks.

you would have to go into robot-config.cpp and manually add the new drivetrains as well as adding them to robot-config.h. (You can use the automatically configured one as an example) I do want to point out that drivetrains are meant to make the code for newer teams simpler. If you are going to go…

Agreed. The motor_group seems like a much more reasonable abstraction to a 2-motor intake system than a drivetrain. See: VEXcode, motor groups and drivetrain example

We are using motor groups to move our robot forward. (We are using drivetrain for intake.) We have 4 motors attached to the 4 wheels. The two left wheels motors are in one motor group and the two right wheels motors are in another motor group. The issue we are facing is that in autonomous program…

you already asked this in a different thread and I answered it there: [image] VEXcode, motor groups and drivetrain example VEXcode Pro V5 Text Tech Support in the first example you do not have a condition that stops the motor. Setrotation merely sets the variable that re…

You can pass the wheelsLeftMain and wheelsRightMain motor_groups into the drivetrain class constructor. Or, there is now a 4-motor drivetrain available from the graphical interface that will do this for you. As far as using motor_groups to spin for a certain amount of rotations: https://api.vexcod…
