why wont my line tracking code work correctly?

I am basically just trying to run this piece of code for 1 second but it doesn't it just keeps on running.

if(vexRT[Btn5U] == 1)

{


	Code: // RIGHT sensor sees dark: if(SensorValue(rightline) > threshold) { // counter-steer right: motor[frontleft] = 63; motor[backleft] = 63; motor[frontright] = 0; motor[backright] = 0; }


	Code: // CENTER sensor sees dark: if(SensorValue(center) > threshold) { // go straight motor[frontleft] = 63; motor[backleft] = 63; motor[frontright] = 63; motor[backright] = 63; }


	Code: // LEFT sensor sees dark: if(SensorValue(leftline) > threshold) { // counter-steer left: motor[frontleft] = 0; motor[backleft] = 0; motor[frontright] = 63; motor[backright] = 63; }

}


	Code: wait1Msec(1000);

Re: why wont my line tracking code work correctly?

Is this your whole code? Is there a while loop around the whole thing? In any case, here's how you would accomplish this with timers:


	Code: clearTimer(T1); while(time1[T1] < 1000){ //code }

Yes there is a while loop I just forgot to add it.

	Code: motor[frontleft] = 0; motor[backleft] = 0; motor[frontright] = 0; motor[backright] = 0;

Gotta stop the motors when you're done

It's going through the loop for 1 second, but whatever the last state it was in (go left, go right, etc) is being held to the motor values until you stop them.

Edit: I am entirely incorrect in this (I don't know why I thought this was true, this is what I get for trying to finish things right before the end of work

), it might be something with the loop that's causing problems. Sorry for the misinformation!

Re: why wont my line tracking code work correctly?

themighty, can you post the while loop? If your code never stops, it is usually an issue relating to the condition of the while loop.
