PBP projects for R/C models

[ScaleRobotics]

I have not been planning on adding sensors.

Then it sounds like PBP should be plenty powerful for your application. Only, I don't think you will be able to get into mapping, as there is no reference to where the car currently is. You could count turns, but once you miss or rather add a turn, then you are off. The only angle you could calculate, is the angle between the front location sensed, and the side position sensed in reference to being parallel with the car. You would not know whether this angle is being measured on a corner, or a straight away.

If you want to use accurate servo, you could use some of the code already pointed out to you.

(Ok, this one is kind of new, so no one suggested it yet)

Hi Ken,

HPWM is hardware based, so it keeps going while other things happen.

Check out the manual:

It can run continuously in the background

while the program is executing other instructions.

You might try trouble shooting your output signal, to see what is happening.

HPWM is a hardware command. It runs while PAUSE is pausing except (it appears) when it is the first "active" command in the code. Really. Truly. The only difference between those two snippets of code is the WHILE statement at the beginning of the one that works.

Note: These few lines of code precede the 'main:' label. All I am trying to do is to demonstrate that the wheel controls are working before experimenting with racing. Once the program counter gets past 'main:' both versions run identically.
