Stamp program problem

dayhkr

I am hoping someone here can point out what I am missing I am using a BSII stamp to control a motor that rotates a webcam left, right or center.··I have the BSII connected to a Pololu motor controller and this is controlling a motor with a board to·sense positions.· I am feeding 5v into the position board and as I turn the motor I read the pins for R,L, and center.··I have the controller working but the issue is it will work once and won't work again unless I re-download the code to the stamp.· I have been messing with it for about an hour or two and I can not get it to run more than one time after downloading to the stamp I am sure it is something easy but I am not seasoned enough with the stamp to figure it out.· If I need to upload the code let me know and I will do so.

How about a link to the board, how you have it connected including the power connections and the program you are using in the stamp?

I have attached a text file of the config I ended up with I stripped it down to see if I could get it to work.· I am pretty sure that the power and everything is good I have used this board before and had no problems it is just this code that I am having an issue with.· If I run the cam with out the position sensing it works just fine let me see if I can get a decent picture of the connection together and post them.

Your returns are in the wrong places. Run through your code and see where you end up.

Sometimes after looking at your code for several hours you just need to walk away maybe sleep and try again.· Thanks for your help I recoded a few things and it started working as advertised if your interested I have a video of the cam part of my bot which is now functioning.·

Taking a break from coding is good,however, posting a code without any comments what it does is very ineffectiive. The only thing I noted that your if /than commands have questionable value if you exit or return from your subroutine. It may be what you wanted· but without comments....

Yeah I messed with it some much·and I was so tired by the time I posted that code that I didn't follow my usual rules I appreciate people still trying to help me even under the circumstance and in the future I won't do that again.· [noparse]:)[/noparse]
