Question

I have some code in which I am waiting on the current x,y,z position of a motor to be equal to the position I sent to the motors. There is no command to ask the motors directly so I set up a boolean to be set to true when the current.x , current.y, and current.z are equal to my move(x,y,z) numbers.

I have tried several different ideas, first, setting up a timer and on each tick of the timer, check if the values are equal. But with this attempt I can’t get the code to wait if they are not equal.

I also tried a recursion method where if the boolean was false, wait some milliseconds and check again. The code said I had infinite recursion and returned a stackoverflow.

How can I wait for the motors to stop moving before sending my next command?

(The only data I can access from the motor is the current position of it)

Answer 1

You can create an event and register the waiting code with the event. Back in the motors code, as soon as the values matches, you can fire the event.
