programing Questions

[nat1]

hi

I had a Question about programing: How do you get 2 motors to rotate at the same time? btw I'm new to this.

[roger]

There is an example in the Motor API, part of the lejos NXT Documentation.
Go to lejos_nxj\docs\apidocs and click on indx.html.
Good luck,
Roger

Motor.C.stop();

Thanks I got it now I wanted to know that beacuse I'm making a walking robot and I needed the hip and knee to move together.

hi

somthing else is there a way to use the rotateTo comm and make two motors move to diffrent angles at once?

[lawrie]

Set immediateReturn to false.

For example:

Code: Select all

Motor.A.rotateTo(30,false);
Motor.B.rotateTo(60,false);
while(Motor.A.isRotating());
while(Motor.B.isRotating());

hi

do I need the while(Motor.A.isRotateing()).?

[bbagnall]

The while-loop just waits until the motors are both done rotating. If you want other processing to go on while they are rotating (which I doubt you would) then you could omit those loops.
