I need a little help. I want to have a program that can read the joystick value in order to use a potentiometer i.e.
if((joystickvalue>="whateverreading")&&(SensorValue[Potentiometer]>=1050))
{
motor[whatever] = 0;
}
If anyone could give a little help that would be fantastic!

I’m a little confused on what you’re trying to accomplish with this program, you said,
but in the program, you are checking a potentiometer’s value, therefore using the potentiometer.
Are you trying to program a motor on the robot to respond to a joystick input from the controller?
What I’m trying to do is when the potentiometer gets to a certain point and I input a Y-value onto the controller’s joystick, it can only move downwards, not upwards. I know I kind of explained in a meh way, sorry for the confusion.
Untested code, and I’m only learning robotc this year, but here’s one way to do it (there may be more graceful ways)
if((joystickvalue>=0)&&(SensorValue[Potentiometer]<=upperlimit)) //motor commanded to go up and is still below potentiometer limit
{
motor[whatever] = joystickvalue;
}
else if(joystickvalue<0) //motor commanded to go down
{
motor[whatever] = joystickvalue;
}
else //remaining cases, which is motor commanded to go up but it is above the potentiometer limit
{
motor[whatever] = 0;
}
you could also combine the first two cases I suppose with an OR statement
if(((joystickvalue>=0) && (SensorValue[Potentiometer]<=upperlimit)) || (joystickvalue<0))
{
motor[whatever] = joystickvalue;
}
else
{
motor[whatever] = 0;
}
Thank you so much for the suggestion/solution. Helps a lot!
