Push up code from Hitec problem

[Ric]

Hi

Having finally made a good connection using a serial to usb convertor I'm trying to 'upload' the RN-1 pushup routine available from the Hitec site.

I've copied and pasted the code into roboBASIC.
I run and it starts to upload until I get this compile error:

29 Line
Error 17 : [FOR] This variable name (or constant name) is not declared.

The actual line in question is: FOR i = 0 TO 5

Any ideas? Please bear in mind you're dealing with a total unsavvy in your reply/solution.

Thanks

Somewhere before line 17 there you need this statement:

DIM i AS BYTE

which will declare the variable i so you can use it through your program. Although the error looks odd, this should be the solution (just checked).

Thanks Hivemind

next up it stalls on line 76

Complie error
ERROR 25:[GOSUB] No exist used label name.


Can't say I'm impressed with Hitecs free downloads

cont.

label name is standard_pose

I think they intend that you insert this into your basic template where the variable i would already be dimensioned and the standup routine would also be included.
I believe your error is the gosub standup. standup is another subroutine which you can find in the basic template.

Aha

That explains a lot.

Thanks

Err, sorry about this

I've now pasted the push up routine onto the bottom of the overall template program and downloaded it to the RN-1. No problems.

How do I now run the push up routine (preferably with the remote). All other basic moves run fine from the remote, I just can't find a button to run the push-ups.

You need to setup your template to envoke the subroutine when one of the ir keys is pressed.
Somewhere at the top of the template there is a section with statements like
A = REMOCON(1) 'this receives input from the IR controller
'then the on goto statement goes to the proper K# based upon the value received, if 0 (no inout received) then it just restarts the loop otherwise it goes to the proper K# as below I have K18 the 'E key on the controller does a gosub to my pushup and then when it returns it goes to main_exit and then restarts the loop of looking for input from the IR controller.

On A goto MAIN, K1, K2, K3........,K18.....

K18: ' E
GOSUB pushup
GOTO main_exit

I hope this helps.

It certainly has helped Bullit, and you've just made my weekend.

Great routine, especially the one armed bit.

I'm starting to get the idea now. Thanks again
