[Robotgroup] PBasic question

[Mohammad El-Abid]

Okay I got the boe-bot and they have a experiment where you find out how
fast it's going and how to calculate how long it takes for it to go x
distance with

 

Distance divided by speed. So I thought I would one-up that! So I wrote a
code that you just enter in the inches per sec. your machine goes then how
far you want it to go (in ins), but I'm a programmer and know very well that
there are Floats, Fixnums, Bignums, and decs. So in PBasic what is the
decimal code?

 

Here's my code for those who are interested:

 

' {$STAMP BS2}

' {$PBASIC 2.5}

' This is for distance measurement

speed VAR Byte ' inches per sec.

distance VAR Word ' how many inches should it go?

division VAR Word

' math

speed = 9

distance = 12

division = distance/speed

DEBUG ? speed

DEBUG ? distance

DEBUG ? division

DEBUG 41*division, CR

 

'41 runs = 1 sec.

FOR counter = 1 TO 41*division

  PULSOUT 13, 850

  PULSOUT 12, 650

  PAUSE 20

NEXT
