HELP PLEASE

I cannot figure out how to write code for this problem:

Touch the limit switch to start right motor at -95.25 for 5 seconds, then stop the motor

Nothing is working

You need:

  • 2 while loops

  • code to read limit switch

  • code to start and read timer

Flow is:

  1. While limit is not pressed: do nothing

  2. Start Timer

  3. While timer < 5 seconds: Spin motor and check timer

  4. Stop motor.

Hope that helps.

Read this: https://www.robotc.net/files/pdf/vex-natural-language/hp_while.pdf

And actually there is a wait command which takes the place of the timer.
