I am using EDR in my classes, (I have a 10 unit class set - so no chance of upgrading $$ ).
Due to remote learning I have been using EDR on Mimic with Python, however, I cannot seem to get the encoder motors to work correctly when the program executes.
The Motor works fine its just the encoders send out 0 ticks.
The encoders work fine when using test drive and the motor sliders. Its only when the program executes.
I dont seem to be doing anything differently to the real world robot project.
Here is the project. you will notice that all motor encoders show 0 (in the device monitor pane) once the program starts, however the quad encoders are OK.
I am working on the arm hold - which does work if I set it up with Quad encoder but not when using the motor encoder.
After looking into this further, I think the joystick is somehow mixed up with this problem, as in another program I can use the encoders for an autonomous run but I notice that as soon as it get to a joystick call they show 0 in the device monitor pane.
Terribly sorry, thought I had notifications turned on.
After a little test case reduction, it does seem that every time a run() call is issued, the motor encoder is reset to 0. I’m not quite sure why it’s doing that.
