User program has exceeded time limit of 3 seconds (vexcode iq C++)

Programming Support VEXcode IQ Technical Support
#1

I am using the new vexcode iq C++ and when I click on the program on the brain, it says user program has exceeded time limit of 3 seconds. I have tried wiping the brain and redownloading it, getting a new brain, and inserting the code into a different file and downloading that onto the brain and none of them have worked.

Can you post the code ? It sounds like you probably have a while loop that blocks (ie. no wait statement)

using namespace vex;

int main(){

while(true){

leftDrive.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, Controller.AxisA.value(), vex::velocityUnits::pct);

rightDrive.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, Controller.AxisD.value(), vex::velocityUnits::pct);

omni.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, Controller.AxisB.value(), vex::velocityUnits::pct);

omni.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, Controller.AxisC.value(), vex::velocityUnits::pct);

}

if(Controller.ButtonRUp.pressing()){

rightArm.spin(directionType::fwd, 100, velocityUnits::pct);

leftArm.spin(directionType::fwd, 100, velocityUnits::pct);

}

else if(Controller.ButtonRDown.pressing()){

rightArm.spin(directionType::fwd, -100, velocityUnits::pct);

leftArm.spin(directionType::fwd, -100, velocityUnits::pct);

yes, you have a misplaced brace after the first four spin calls. It should be this

using namespace vex;

int main(){
  while(true){
    leftDrive.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, Controller.AxisA.value(), vex::velocityUnits::pct);
    rightDrive.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, Controller.AxisD.value(), vex::velocityUnits::pct);
    omni.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, Controller.AxisB.value(), vex::velocityUnits::pct);
    omni.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, Controller.AxisC.value(), vex::velocityUnits::pct);
  // } <-- misplaced brace

    if(Controller.ButtonRUp.pressing()){
      rightArm.spin(directionType::fwd, 100, velocityUnits::pct);
      leftArm.spin(directionType::fwd, 100, velocityUnits::pct);
    }
    else if(Controller.ButtonRDown.pressing()){
      rightArm.spin(directionType::fwd, -100, velocityUnits::pct);
      leftArm.spin(directionType::fwd, -100, velocityUnits::pct);
    }
    else {
      rightArm.stop(brakeType::hold);
      leftArm.stop(brakeType::hold);
    }

    if(Controller.ButtonLUp.pressing()){
      flingyDingy.spin(directionType::fwd, 100, velocityUnits::pct);
    }
    else if(Controller.ButtonLDown.pressing()){
      flingyDingy.spin(directionType::fwd, -100, velocityUnits::pct);
    }
    else{
      flingyDingy.stop(brakeType::hold);
    }

    vex::task::sleep(20);
  } // <-- should be here

}
