problem in navigate robot by using compass HMC6352.plz help. urgent

Using Arduino Project Guidance
1

hai...i trying to navigate the robot by using compass HMC6352...it suppose to be move in square pattern when moving...i trying to program it by moving straight for few second and then turn 90 deg to the left or the right...the process suppose to keep repeating until it move in square pattern...Here i also put the code that i had write..hope to get some guideline :slight_smile:

#include <Wire.h>
int HMC6352Address = 0x42;
// This is calculated in the setup() function
int slaveAddress;
int ledPin = 13;
boolean ledState = false;
byte headingData[2];
int i, direct;
int state = 1;

int E1 = 4;  // shield motor type PWM
int M1 = 5; 
int E2 = 7;  // shield motor type PWM                   
int M2 = 6; 

void setup()
{
// Shift the device's documented slave address (0x42) 1 bit right
// This compensates for how the TWI library only wants the
// 7 most significant bits (with the high bit padded with 0)
slaveAddress = HMC6352Address >> 1;   // This results in 0x21 as the address to pass to TWI
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(M1, OUTPUT);   
pinMode(M2, OUTPUT); 
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);      // Set the LED pin as output
Wire.begin();

}

void motor_forward()
{
  digitalWrite(M1,LOW);
  digitalWrite(M2,LOW);
  analogWrite(E2,100);
  analogWrite(E1,100);
 }

void motor_left() // turn left
{
  digitalWrite(M1,LOW);   // need to check whether LOW forward or vice versa
  digitalWrite(M2,HIGH);
  analogWrite(E2,0);
  analogWrite(E1,100); 
}
void motor_right() //turn right
{
  digitalWrite(M1,HIGH);
  digitalWrite(M2,HIGH);

void loop()
{
  // Flash the LED on pin 13 just to show that something is happening
  // Also serves as an indication that we're not "stuck" waiting for TWI data
  ledState = !ledState;

  }
  else

  Wire.endTransmission();
  delay(10);                   // The HMC6352 needs at least a 70us (microsecond) delay
  // after this command.  Using 10ms just makes it safe
  // Read the 2 heading bytes, MSB first
  // The resulting 16bit word is the compass heading in 10th's of a degree
  // For example: a heading of 1345 would be 134.5 degrees
  Wire.requestFrom(slaveAddress, 2);        // Request the 2 byte heading (MSB comes first)
  i = 0;
  while(Wire.available() && i < 2)
  { 
    headingData[i] = Wire.read();
    i++;
  }
  direct = headingData[0]*256 + headingData[1];  // Put the MSB and LSB together
 
  ///////Serial PRINT////////

  //Serial.print(" ");
  //Serial.print(direct);
  //Serial.print(" ");
  //Serial.print("Current heading: ");
  //Serial.print(int (headingValue / 10));     // The whole number part of the heading
  //Serial.print(".");
  //Serial.print(int (headingValue % 10));     // The fractional part of the heading

Hi,

What does it do running the code as it is here?

chokey:
hope to get some guideline :slight_smile:

Does it compile?

Does it do what you want?

What do your debug prints tell you is happening?

state==8; What's that?

I am develope an autonomous robot that can move in a maze. This is to try the compass sensor. Suppose it works,but it didn't. I doubt there is problem with the coding....
