Ir Beacon &Amp; Ez-B

This Script may be of interest to anyone setting up the Pololu ir Beacon with EZ-B while I control 2 servo motors it should be easy to adapt to a movement panel

:forward SLEEP(10) IF (GETDIGITAL(D11)=0) servo(d0, 48) GOTO(forward) ELSEIF (GETDIGITAL(D11)=1) SERVO(D0, 54) ENDIF :reverse IF (GETDIGITAL(D13)=0) SERVO(D0, 62) GOTO(REVERSE) ELSEIF (GETDIGITAL(D13)=1) SERVO(D0, 54) SLEEP(10) ENDIF :Turnleft SLEEP(10) IF (GETDIGITAL(D12)=0) SERVO(D1, 50) GOTO(TURNLEFT) ELSEIF (GETDIGITAL(D12)=1) SERVO(D1, 45) SLEEP(10) ENDIF :TURNRIGHT IF (GETDIGITAL(D14)=0) SERVO(D1, 38) GOTO(TURNRIGHT) ELSEIF (GETDIGITAL(D14)=1) SERVO(D1,45) ENDIF GOTO(FORWARD)

@Rich, thanks for you help

Not a problem, I'm happy to help. Your posts inspired my next scripting tutorial idea - the If command and all of it's conditions.

By the way if you use the code tag in your posts


it looks better:)

use the word code inside square brackets.

Also, you can use just an ELSE rather than ELSEIF. I know I used ELSEIF in my first example to you, both ways work but ELSE is less typing:)


IF (GETDIGITAL(D11)=0)
  servo(d0, 48)
  GOTO(forward)
ELSE
  SERVO(D0, 54)
ENDIF 

I wondered what it was for and have to admit I'm still not entirely sure what it does (well, I know what it does I don't know the why). It'll loop around forward until a status chance, then look around reverse etc. Is that what it is meant to do?

As for adapting for a movement panel, just use the commands Forward([speed], [milliSeconds]) Reverse([speed], [milliSeconds]) Left([speed], [milliSeconds]) Right([speed], [milliSeconds])

(Would need a Movement Panel set up in ARC otherwise it doesn't know what to move)

Using it as a test for locating battery charger

I us two servos to operate a joystick of a motorised wheelchair this script allows me to walk off with the second beacon and the robot will then follow me. Hide the Beacon and it will stop.
