The motor start running when power ON, why?

Using Arduino Programming Questions

Hi,
The Serial.monitor attached, where the forword_motorSpeedA=131/ forword_motorSpeedB=255 came from even the xAxis=0 / yAxis=0 without Bluetooth connected?
need help please.
Thanks
Adam

Without being connected, what does Bluetooth() do?

What are the values used in Motor() and what is supposed to be changing or otherwise maintaining them?

Add some prininting, it’s almost guaranteed rpthat the code is doing exactly what you wrote, perhaps not what you intended.

Thanks.
its what made me confused what you asked. The motor start running as long as the code uploaded.

Looks like you're hitting this bit of code:

      if (xAxis < MedianL) {
        motorSpeedA = map(xAxis, MedianL, 60, 255, 50);
        motorSpeedB = 255;
      }

[/quote]

Since 131 is 85% of the way from 255 to 50, 'xAxis' should be 85% of the way from 'MedianL' (130) to 60. That would make 'xAxis' about 70 or 71.

Of course, if 'xAxis' is, indeed, 0, that would be outside the input range.
(0-60)/(130-60) = -85.7%
(255-50) * -85.7% = -175.7
-175.7 + 50 = -125 -> 0xFF83 -> 0x83 -> 131

So the problem is that you are using map() on a value outside the input range.

genius johnwasser, thank you.

I commented out : if (xAxis < MedianL) { motorSpeedA = map(xAxis, MedianL, 60, 255, 50); motorSpeedB = 255; }
and the motor doesn't running before Bluetooth operating now.
