I hope you can help.
I am using C.1.1+ board and version 6.1.1 compiler
I have pared the program down to just include a simple event. the whole
project is a robot with two bumper switches, one front one back.
1. The robot goes forward as it should no problem
2. if I call any of the routines from the main program it executes as they
should.
3. I have two bumper switches set up
4. both switches supply 5 volts to their respective IO line normally
5. when the switch is bumped the switch voltage supplied to the IO line goes
to 0 volts
6. The program ignores the bumper switches.
7. I physically read the voltages and they are changing when the switched is
pressed.
8. I tried putting a do loop around the last four lines of the main sub but
it ignored the switches then also
Here is what I think should be happening with the values:
switch1.IOLine = 13 'assign bumper sw 1 to line 13
normal bumped
w1.Input.Link(switch1.Position) 'read bump sw1 assign to wire b1
5 0
w1.Output.Link(bumprd1.Operate) 'assign to on/off of event
5 0
w1.InvertOut = cvTrue '5v is normal 0v is bumped
0 5
I think he last one should give a transition from 0 to 5 and the 5(true)
should when copied to the operate property of the event cause the program to go
to the event_code.
Can you give me a clue as to why this won't execute the event code? I have
also tried reading I/O lines instead of a switch object.
Kind of a side question but can I run the OOPIC connected to the PC and have
it read the values or run the program as if it were connected to a virtual
robot and switches. As it is if it does not work the dumb thing just sits
there. No indication if it is working or not.
