darnit....
it was working all the time
i just had to call my stopmoving() routine in the main loop..
 ;D

OKAY PLZ HELP ME WITH THIS ONE
this fits the title so i dont have to make a new topic


i have this code

Code:

void loop()

{
line = getline();
while (line == -10)
{
 spinleft();
 line = getline();
 Serial.println(line, DEC);
 }


Serial.println(line, DEC);



}

AND IT DOSENT STOP THE LOOP WHEN THE CONDITION ISINT MET

the getline() statment returns -10 when there is no line,
and -5 to +5 when the line is found...
(line follower)
the code prints the line position to serial but when the line is fount (thus changing the variable line to -5 to +5) IT DOSENT STOP THE LOOP

sorry...
but how does that loop work???
i need to know, to make modifications.

WOW THANKS!!!!!!!!!!
that completely solves my problem
so max just does it?
built in?
i noticed when i was typing my variables that max turned a different color

say i make a
void getmax()
{
 if (raw1 > max1)
{
max1 = raw1;
}
}


how would i make that code block loop for 5 seconds?

What about if i have a usb to serial and usb to parrallel converter? can i change the levels?

thats what i get without removing the atmega328 chip from the duemalanove

avrdude: stk500_paged_write(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x95
avrdude: failed to write flash memory, rc=-4
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0xf1

And also can i program it remotely with the bluesmirf?

What about TX? Isint there some sortof checksum?

I know its not a official product...
So i have a boarduino, a duemilanove, a usb to serial (rs-232) and parrallel converter, and a bluesmirf gold (firefly version)

And i want to program the DC boarduino without having to remove the IC from the duemilanove.

Thanks in advance

Fixed it, wired the arduino to 9v batterie and servos to 6v (4 aa bats)
VIDEO COMMING SOON

thx guys

just have to work out that calabration routine for my reflectance sensors...
The life of a 13 year old... (computer taken away lots)

ALSO 9v dosent work too

 :o
arduino, duemilanove
when i plug the arduino into usb, the two continuous rotation servos (arduino controled) work fine according to my code (turn in oposite directions then switch directions)
but when i plug the arduino into my 6v power supply it dosent work...
i know the suggested voltage is 7v but usb runs on 5v...?

What about someone devoloping something like a wiichuck Adapter? It is made to go directly in the arduino and you would have to get a breadboard, a switch, a resistor and a debouncing cap jist to tpggle something. See what i mean? For someone like ME who sees the constant need to test components quickly.
