Depends on how far you wish IC to go. Someday there could be another
controller that allows 100 disrete levels. On the other hand that
could be handled well by allowing the value to go to 100, and the code
written to go to 8 would be kinda slow.
Could it be handled well by using #defines (constants), or other
functions?
#define MOTOR_STOP 0
#define MOTOR_REALLY_SLOW 12
#define MOTOR_KINDA_SLOW 25
#define MOTOR_MEDIUM_SLOW 37
#define MOTOR_MEDIUM 50
#define MOTOR_MEDIUM_FAST 62
#define MOTOR_PRETTY_FAST 75
#define MOTOR_REALLY_FAST 87
#define MOTOR_FULL 100

| (...) <snip> (...) It would make more sense to just use motor(1,speed*14) This would give you the following: Value --> Speed 0 --> 0 1 --> 14 2 --> 28 3 --> 42 4 --> 56 5 --> 70 6 --> 84 7 --> 98 I wouldn't bother rewriting the routine. Tom (29 years ago, 18-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| (...) Yes, and speed control is built in to the Interactive C motor function. motor(0, 100) turns on motor 0 at full speed; motor(0, 50) is half speed, etc. While we're on the topic, I am considering changing the speed argument, because in actuality (...)
