extra walking steps?

2007-02-13T17:03:57+01:00

Thanks guys!
I'm going to have alot to play with now. To me the whole walking aspect of this bot is the most interesting, unfortunately the last time I wrote any code was when Reagan first took office!
But this is a great way to get back into it.

extra walking steps?

2007-02-13T11:42:40+01:00

Below is a slightly modified walk that details how you can get rid of the pause . Basically everything before the FWD_CONT: starts the walk from standing still.
Once you get to comment 'Loop to FWD_CONT to continue walking you either loop to FWD_CONT to walk 2 more steps with no hestitation or continue to stop walking and return to a stable standing positon.

The loop could be a for next as suggested above or could be due to some sort of controller input. I use a varient of this with my bluetooth controller for continual walking.

Hope this helps

A FOR/NEXT loop should do the trick.

DIM Y AS BYTE
FOR Y = 1 to 4

[forward walk code]

NEXT Y

Well, I answered my own question.
Yes. It executes the subroutine twice making the bot take a total of four steps. However there is a hesitation between the two subs executing instead of one continuous gait. Hmmmm....
How to get rid of the pause?
Hey this IS fun!

Okay, I have spent the last hour staring at the walking code and I have a question. Could I simply add a second "GOSUB forward_walk" to make the RN-1 take four steps instead of the default two steps when the forward arrow key is pressed?
GOSUB forward_walk
GOSUB forward_walk
GOSUB standard_pose
GOTO main_exit
Would this work by executing the subroutine twice in succession? Or am I totally out in left field?
