Hi All,
I've got a bit of a problem! Whenever I do a cartesian (or other) robot
model, I typically (in NQC) will program a "driver" which can spin the
motors with the rotation sensors to any position and delecerate to finely
reach the destination. However, I've not been able to do this ever very
smoothly.
Has anyone done something similar?
I'm changing a variable in the main task (like, xPos or yPos or similar),
and the "servo" task will note the difference between it's actual position
and the desired position. It'll spin the motor in the direction it should
go, and when it gets within a certain number of counts on the rotation
sensor, jumps to a slow speed by pulsing the motor (on, wait 1, off, wait
1).
Is this the right newsgroup to be asking? I'm not sure, maybe I should try
one of the NQC ones.
Anyway, I'm just anxious to see if anyone else has ever done something
similar, because with a robot I'm working on for an upcoming competition,
the method of control I just mentioned is far too "jumpy" and causes my
robot to vibrate, shake, and spring all over.
Thanks in advance,
Iain

| (...) Well I haven't seen your version of the Project-X design, but I'll assume it's similar (albeit vastly inferior) to the one I'm entering.
