Thanks!

I think this example could help you:

This example executes a block of code if the value of the DMS sensor connected to Port 3 is less than 500.

You have a lot of programming information at Roboplus Tasks pages

Just read the port you have connected the Sharp DMS to, convert to a range in cms if required.
If you put this code in a loop you can take different action in your program depending on range.
A very simple example to read the sensor and continuously display the range in cms is below:

Take a look at the demo task program at label AutoWalkMode. The code goes something like this...

IF(PORT[5] > 200)
...WalkCommand = 3
ELSE
...WalkCommand = 1
CALL WalkExecute

WalkCommand 3 causes the robot to turn left. Otherwise WalkCommand 1 causes the robot to walk forward. A reading above 200 on I/O port 5 is the threshold for turning left. The DMS sensor is on port 5.

How do i incorporate it into a taskcode?

The Sharp IR Ranger is connected to an analogue input port on the CM510 the value returned, when the port is read in a robo plus program, is not linear to distance and is in the range 0-1023!

A good approximation of the range in cms is 5524/Value returned.

Its good for ranges out to 80ish cms, google for a full datasheet on it.

I have the distance sensor built into my Bioloid, I was wondering how to use it and how to incorporate it into task codes.
Thanks!
