First Boe Bot program modification problem.

Prettybird

· I am trying to add a section that witll enable a Parallax 5 button R/C control to be used with the roaming with ping with infrared program. The original IR sensors were changed to Sharp sensors with a compartor to a simple TTL on off signal. Works fine. Now trying to add a wireless simple 5 button board to override the roaming program when used. The R/C reciever also works fine with a simple Hi Lo output for each channel. I thought it would be simple. The boe bot book is very basic and and not much imfo on modifications I guess. Mabe you guys can steer me in the right direction. Thanks. So happy my first monster bot is finally moving. Enclosed is a copy of the program I am trying to add on to.

You had a few syntax errors that I corrected in your main subroutine, the DO LOOP command had a problem with missing some ENDIF commands and a GOSUB Forword_Pulse should had read GOSUB Forward_Pulse. as of running the program and testing it out I still have not finished my home brew HoboBot. but this is the code what I changed for you.

Main:
DO

' Start R/C program insert

IF (IN1 = 1) THEN
GOSUB Turn_Left
ENDIF
IF (IN2 = 1) THEN
GOSUB Back_Up
ENDIF
IF (IN3 = 1) THEN
GOSUB Turn_Right
ENDIF
IF (IN5 =1) THEN
GOSUB Forward_Pulse
ENDIF


IF (irDetectLeft = 0) AND (irDetectRight = 0) THEN
GOSUB Ping_Around ' Object Detected via IR Forward
ELSEIF (irDetectLeft = 0) THEN
GOSUB Ping_Around ' Object Detected via IR Left
ELSEIF (irDetectRight = 0) THEN
GOSUB Ping_Around ' Object Detected via IR Right
ENDIF

counter = counter + 1 ' Increment Passive Counter

IF counter > 10 THEN ' Wait For 10 Servo Pulses
GOSUB Ping_Out ' Activate PING)))
ENDIF

IF (distance > 30) THEN ' Is Object Farther Than 30 cm?
GOSUB Forward_Pulse ' If Yes Go Forward
ELSE
GOSUB Ping_Around ' Otherwise Scan For Clear Path
ENDIF

LOOP

If a robot has a screw then it must be romoved and hacked into..

Thanks alot. This is the first time I am looking at the programming part and will get bits and peices a little at a time. I am too good at skipping pages and experimenting. Good luck with your Hobobot.
