Here's a code byte from my LegWay code.
----
int MotorSpeedArray[32] = {1,3,2,0}; // Speeds
// ... later in the program...
if (sys_time>CheckTime) // check system timer - is it time to check sensors again?
{
L1 = ReadSensor(SENSOR_1);
L3 = ReadSensor(SENSOR_3);
MotorSetting = (((L1 - CenterPoint1) * AdjustSpeed / 8 + 8) + ((L3 - CenterPoint3)
* AdjustSpeed / 8 + 8)) / 2;
// check boundry
if (MotorSetting < 0) MotorSetting = 0;
if (MotorSetting > 16) MotorSetting = 16;
CheckTime = sys_time + 1;
}
MotorRunningValue = ((sys_time) >> 1 & 7);
motor_a_dir(MotorSpeedArray[(MotorSetting + MotorRunningValue)>>3]);
motor_c_dir(MotorSpeedArray[(MotorSetting + MotorRunningValue)>>3]);
----
The first part looks at the system time (I think the function is get_sys_time_up()
in the latest version of BrickOS). This function returns the current system time in
ms, so I just have it look at the sensor whenever the time changes.
The motor control is a bit harder to explain. It takes in settings from 0 (full
forward) to 16 (full reverse) and creates a PWM for some percentage of 8 ms.
