range sensor + encoder + motor controller

HI,
I need to adjust my code as such that my motors should be runing and I am conitnously getting range and encoder giving me the rpm of my wheels.
I am using pololu micro dual motor controller. Which I am telling in the code to move from 50 to 127 that is its maximum speed.

I am attaching my code and I have been trying ti fix it but once it goes into speed of controlling motors it stops giving me my range and rpm -- what should I do
Thanks

    I think if you take your debug statement at the beginning (initialization)of the code and add it to the "Get_sonar" section of your code it should work for you.

    Hi
    I have done the mdification as you suggested. I am not sure whether I have done right as you suggested . Have a look at it.

    What happenig is that one it reads range and then it goes into main: and the it does speed up the motor as specified slowly and then stays there. I want once it is speeding up the motors it should continue to updating range and rpm aswel. All functions to happen simultaneously..

    I am not getting what I want.
    Thanks

    That's not what I was thinking, try this code that is attached.

    I made a correction to the·code,·so try this one·and see if it works for your project?

    If I make the correction like this( see attachment) although updating is slow but you see the motors start earlier and and I miss initial data of range sesnor and encoder.
    Can I make it more quickly update the data of the sensors. at the moment to me it look jerky.
    Thankyou for your help.

    You are going to have to experiment with the code to get it perfect.· I don't have your set up here to test.
