06robotics - Timers

The document discusses using timers in programming robots, noting that robots must stop responding to commands after a set time period like 2 minutes to avoid disqualification. It explains that the wait1Msec command can be used to create timers, and that robots are equipped with 4 internal timers, T1-T4. It provides instructions to write a program that uses a timer, including loading a sample program, writing a while loop with a 15 second time period, setting motors to zero after the loop, and changing the time limit to 90 seconds.

Programming - Timers

Intro to Robotics

Time and Timers


Lets say the rules for the game state that you
only have 2 minutes from the starting signal
to control your robot, and then your robot
must STOP responding to commands or face
disqualification. Is your robot tournament
ready?

wait1Msec ( )
You might think you understand how to use the
wait1Msec(time) command, but the question is
where do you put it in the code?

Timers

Your robot is equipped


with 4 timers, T1-T4.

The time in the while loops


condition is on milliseconds.

Timers are in the condition

Write your program

Load up Dual Joystick Control from the


sample programs and rename it to Mines
with Timers.
Write a program with a 15 second time
period.
After the while loop set your motors to zero.
Complete the maze in under 15 seconds.
After completing the maze change the time to
90 seconds, then save.
