Re: raw_input and break

On Thu, 05 Nov 2015 17:28:36 GMT, input/ldompeling@casema.nl declaimed the
following:

	Is there a typo there? If those are setting rotation speeds for
independent drive wheels, you will have a slow left turn enabled.

>time.sleep(4)
>stop()

>while True:

	"mindist" will always be 80 -- there is no code shown below that ever
changes it (so the above assignment can be put before the "while"
statement). That means your us_dist() function must somewhere return a
value greater than 80.

	You stopped the right() call before ever doing any output

	Off-hand, I'd try to get rid of a lot of that redundancy by defining
functions to encapsulate your sequence... (Python 2.x syntax -- not tested)


(FORWARD, BACKWARD, LEFT, RIGHT) = (1, 2, 3, 4)
SEQUENCE = [	(BACKWARD, 2),
				(RIGHT, 1),
				(FORWARD, 3),
				(LEFT, 1),
				(FORWARD, 2)	]

def move(drct, dly):
	if drct == FORWARD:
		fwd()
		print "Forward"
	elif drct == BACKWARD:
		bwd()
		print "Backward"
	elif drct == LEFT:
		left()
		print "Left"
	elif drct == RIGHT:
		right()
		print "Right"
	else:
		print "Invalid command: %s" % drct
	time.sleep(dly)
	stop()

notDone = True
servo(90)
mindist = 80

while notDone:
	if mindist > us_dist(15):
		for (dir, tm) in SEQUENCE:
			move(dir, tm)

-=-=-=-=-

	Now, if you don't mind having to also press the <enter> key, you could
use the threading module to handle the keyboard shutdown command instead of
using system specific modules to do raw keystroke input. You'd add
something before the while loop (and this is really pseudo-code, barely any
attempt at Python):

import threading

def cmdHandler():
	global notDone
	while True:
		cmd = raw_input("Enter command> ").lower()
		if cmd.startswith("s"):
			notDone = False
			break
		else:
			print "Unimplemented command: %s" % cmd

cmdThread = threading.Thread(target=cmdHandler)
cmdThread.start()

	This concept doesn't require changes if the underlying OS changes, and
does open things up to having more complex commands (one could have
commands with arguments since the input is line oriented).
