Using rosbot.initROSbot && hMotor::setPower && sys.delay together

Software

Hi,

I have noticed that if I call rosbot.initROSbot, my motors and delays do not work properly: Once the sys.delay is called, power seems to be cut off from the motors, resulting in very the motors being powered for a very short time.

Is there a way to fix this, for instance, to dynamically “uninit” ROSbot when willing to use the hMotor interface?

Thanks,
Erinc

Hello Erinc,

The ROSbot class is using hMotor interface internally, thus when you call rosbot.initROSbot() it takes control over all motors.

To control motors of ROSbot, you should rather use ROSbot::setSpeed(), it will adjust individual motors power to drive ROSbot with desired speed.

There is no method for uninitialization of ROSbot, such process would break odometry functionality.
