Nancy,
Sorry for not getting back sooner. Been outof town. Anyway, thanks for
the reply. This is what I am looking for. I am going to combine this
wirh another routine. Basicly
1. Right Touch Sensor hits object.
RCount += 1;
IF RCount >= 2
{
RCount = 1;
}
2. Same for Left Touch Sensor
IF RCount = 1 && LCount = 1
// Stuck in Corner
{
RevMotor(AC);
Sleep(500);
FwdMotor(C);
Sleep(500);
Fwdmotor(A);
RCount = 0;
LCount = 0;
}
This way if one sensor countinues to hit then it is the same wall or
mabey a curved wall.
If both sensors have a count of one (1) then means it first hit on
one side of the wall and then one the other side of the wall. With both
a count one (1), it reverses and the turns around.
The timer function will also be used to backup the count by loking for
certain values too.
