pause on bs2sx

Archiver

im programing a robot controler and im trying to use PAUSE to delay a
relay. what i need to do is when i press a button on a joy stick it
turns on one motor through a realy then about 1-2 seconds later turn
on a different one and shut off the first one. this is what ive got
so far, but what happens is both relays turn on at the same time and
it just delays the time it take to turn them onn when you press the
button on the joy stick

relay1_fwd = p1_sw_trig
relay2_fwd = p1_sw_trig
relay1_rev = p1_sw_top


relay2_rev = p3_sw_top
relay3_fwd = p2_sw_trig
relay3_rev = p2_sw_top
relay4_fwd = p4_sw_trig
relay4_rev = p4_sw_top


if p1_sw_trig = 0 then exit

relay1_fwd = 1
PAUSE 500
relay1_rev = 1


exit:

Looks as though you are using an Innovation First controller.

That section of code updates the valiables, but at the bottom of the
full code a SEROUT instruction is used to send those values to co-
processors which handle the actual control.

That SEROUT must be ran before your pause.

Also, be aware, that too long a pause will cause the controller into
a "fail" mode since iit much receive data within set time limits or
it will assume there was a hardware failure.
