Example 7 cmpc and gmpc

Simulation

Real Life

What does the code do?

This code sets the robot position to 0 (using cmpc) then goes forward until robot position is 5000 (using gmpc)

Functions Used

cmpc( clear_motor_position_counter)

gmpc ( get_motor_position_counter)

mav( motor port, velocity)

Function Implementation

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

def main():
   cmpc(0)
   while gmpc(0) < 5000:
      mav(0, 750)
      mav(3, 750)

if __name__ == "__main__":
   main()

Rookie Tip

By using gmpc, you can know what position your motor needs to be at, so you can further improve your code.
