Pros coding pneumatics

Programming Support

I am a first time coder and trying to add my pros into my code but I don’t know how. I feel like I have already tried everything I could find online. If you know how to code in pneumatics in pros please let me know how.

so why are you using PROS ?

I meant first time using pros becasue I used to do block but have to use pros now.

For pros 3.8.0 (older version): ADI (TriPort) C++ API — PROS for V5 3.8.0 documentation

pros::ADIAnalogOut claw_pneumatic = pros::ADIAnalogOut('A'); // Create a pneumatic in port A

void main()
{
    claw_pneumatic.set_value(true); // Extend
    claw_pneumatic.set_value(false); // Retract
}

For pros 4.1.0 (newest version): pros::adi::Pneumatics class | PROS for V5

pros::adi::Pneumatics claw_pneumatic = pros::adi::Pneumatics('A'); // Create a pneumatic in port A

void main()
{
    claw_pneumatic.set_value(true); // Extend
    claw_pneumatic.set_value(false); // Retract
    // OR
    claw_pneumatic.extend();
    claw_pneumatic.retract();

    claw_pneumatic.toggle(); // toggle the pneumatic
    claw_pneumatic.get_value(); // get it's current state
}

This is what I have tried can you tell if there’s something wrong that I can fix.

you haven’t been very descriptive of what you actually need, nobody can help you if we don’t know what you want. Do you want to extend the pneumatics once? Have it toggle on a button press? Something else?

Also, what I sent is just a list of everything you can do with the pneumatics, not something you can copy/paste in to make it magically work. If you want to extend the pneumatics, you only put in the extend line, or to make it retract you only put in the retract line, etc. The top line is the definition of the pneumatics, so you put that wherever you made motors and other devices

Thanks for the help we found it

I’m on her team and we did coding before and robotics and we needed to use pros we just don’t know how to code pneumatics

It needs to be used multiple times in a game

You’ve been churning out quite a lot of off topic and low effort posts recently. I suggest you take some time to observe the forum and get to know how it works a bit better.

There are a lot of things wrong with this. While vexcode isn’t perfect, I use it and found it to be less buggy compared to PROS at the time. Additionally, vex pros isn’t a thing. PROS is developed independently outside of vex. Additioanlly, pneumatics coding is quite easy if you know the syntax. So either you are unable to look up the documentation (basic skill) or don’t have even the basics of coding knowledge (shouldn’t be using PROS).

Comments like these add nothing to the conversation and provide 0 insight or perspectives outside of what as already been given.

Finally, you don’t quite seem to understand how topics are organized, asking how to code pneumatics in the townhall thread:

Despite receiving a sarcastic response from yours truly and a more formal one from a moderator. You replied asking for basic information that could be found by just scrolling up to the top post in the thread.

There is quite a lot going on in the vex community and there are plenty of extremely knowledgeable people here. I would recommend taking some time to get to learn how things work, what is and isn’t appropriate, and a bit more about engineering concepts.
