Example 6 Getting Values

Simulation

The data collected by the code will show up in the bottom right in the console. In this case, the values 16320 and 23095 have been recorded.

Real Life

The data collected by the code will show up on the hub.

What does the code do?

This code gives the motor values, and prints the values in the console.

Functions Used

print( Inputted message)

gmpc( get_motor_position)

Function Implementation

#!/usr/bin/python3
import os, sys
sys.path.append("/usr/lib")
from kipr import*

def main():
   print("this is the value of the wheel:", gmpc(0))
   print("this is the value of the wheel:", gmpc(3))

if __name__ == "__main__":
   main()

Rookie Tip

By printing the gmpc, you can know the exact position the robot motors are at.
