[CCC DEV] PWM MOTOR CONTROL

[Laurence Laycock]

Hi guys...yeah I've been twiddling around...and I've figured out how to get
pwm motor control - well I don't think it probably is the best way to do it
but here is an example of a section of the code : -

*PROC main ()*
*  CHAN SIGNAL s1:*
*  CHAN SIGNAL s2:*
*  CHAN BYTE b1:*
*  CHAN BYTE b2:*
*  PAR*
*    heartbeat ()*
*    pinSetup ()*
*    goForward()*
*    byte.tick (255, b1!)     *
*    pwm (enablePin, b1?)*
*    byte.tick (50, b2!)*
*    pwm (enablePin2, b2?)*
*
*
*
*
goForward() just tells the motor pins on the h bridge to go high or low.
byte.tick is in plumbing module here is the code: -

*PROC byte.tick (VAL BYTE input.value, CHAN BYTE out!)*
*  WHILE TRUE*
*    SEQ*
*      out ! input.value*
*:*

The first value is the byte that will be sent to pwm through a channel
defined in the second.
I hope you like it as I am quite new to coding - I would like to know if
there is a better way to do this....
I really want to control my robot and get wheel encoders to work
(eventually) in concurrency.

Please advise

Laurence (:
