Unofficial response: Integrated Encoders for RobotC

[4149G]

Hello, My name is Devon and I’m on a 4 year running Vex Team. I’m leading programmer and captain and need help with Integrated Encoders. We have been trying to use them in the skyrise game but they aren’t working. I was wondering how to make the gear count work very accurately. I was also wondering if I put 4000 gear counts on a turn but it didn’t even turn. i also put the gear count at 1000000 and it still didn’t turn. PLZZZZ help

Our Ime are usually green in autonomous and here is the code i usually use to run the code

while (nMotorEncoder[rightbw] > 3000)
{
motor[rightfw] = 100;
motor[rightbw] = 100;
motor[leftfw] = 100;
motor[leftbw] = 100;

}

suferboy217,

I could be wrong, but I think you simply need to use a LESS THAN sign instead of a GREATER THAN sign. You are currently telling the motors to run only when they are greater than 3000. They aren’t even going to get to 3000 if they don’t run.

You want them to run UNTIL they get to 3000…in other words

while (nMotorEncoder[rightbw] < 3000)
