Script Help, Doing More Than One Thing At Once

Hey everyone,

Project has 3 Hbridges (robo claw). All controlled serially example...

Sendserial(d0,38400,125)# lft track forward 1 sec sleep(1000)

What I would like to do is while moving forward I would like its body controlled H-bridge to start moving body up so that full body extend will be in process before machine reaches kitchen.

Ive tried something like...

Sendserial(do,38400,125) , Sendserial (d1,38400,70)

But obviously it doesn't work. Im sure its something using control command.... but I haven't got my head wrapped around the whole ControlCommand thing yet. Thanks in advance.

Whenever you are ready to stop both motors (even at different times) use a variant of the code below... remember you can have as many lines in a script as you wish.... Use each line as a flow of events so to speak... start one motor... wait, start another motor, wait some more, stop the first motor, wait, stop the second.... done



Sendserial (d0,38400,0) # Stop motor controller1

sleep(4000) #stop motor controller number 2... 4 seconds later

Sendserial (d1,38400,0 # stop motor controller number 2


Use the sleep commands to control when the motors start and stop:)
