Hi,

How/where do you set robot wheel radius to enable pointTurn() and other such commands to work with standard angles/left/right? At the moment 90 degrees is a 360 (roughly).

Thanks!

Cheers

Hi tstex,
Can you paste your code into a post so that we can see it? (use the [code][/code] tags to format it correctly) This will help us help you.

The best advice I can give right now is that there's nothing inherent in the pointTurn function to measure rotation (per the documentation). Usually you would couple this function with one of the wait functions or one of the until functions. If you're using it with the untilRotations function, a common misconception is that this is rotations of the robot, but it's actually counting rotations of the wheels. The number of wheel rotations required to turn the robot 90 degrees will depend on both the radius of the wheels and how far apart the wheels are.

Best,

Yep. Thanks. That occurred to me after posting here. I'm kind of spoilt by emulators where "turn right" means exactly 90.0000 degrees. The real world is shaping up to be more interesting....

Thanks again.
