I find this to be a useful tool to learn about robotics! I am a 75 year old with a brain injury. I was a CadCam expert before my accident. I could program robotic arms and other for industrial uses and was an expert in AutoCAD. I want to learn how these robots work but don't know if you can help me to regain some of the knowledge that I lost!
My hub gyro has inconsistent transitions from positive to negative yaw angle output. It sometimes flips yaw polarity at 180, as it should. But sometimes it switches at random angles, for example 0 to 220 then -140 to 0. Next it might be 0 to 30 then -330 to 0. The erratic gyro yaw output makes yaw turn control unreliable. Any tips for correcting this?
Video summary: When the program starts, the yaw will be set to zero. When it turns right, the value of the yaw will increase. When it turns left, it will decrease. The right should be greater than because it’s increasing, and left should be less than because it’s decreasing. When using sensors, make the speed lower to give the robot a chance to react to its surroundings. Logically, to turn the robot, one wheel should be going backwards and the other should go forward. The robot will always turn to the wheel that is going backwards. Always make the degrees five degrees less than the actual degree you want. Again, give your sensor time to react by giving it a short wait time. For example, wait zero point five seconds.
The yellow objects should be the "When program starts" and "When right button pressed" events. There are also a couple of "repeat until" and "wait" controls
Best robotics video ever great explanations

My robot keeps spinning for ever when I use the code
Sorry for the late reply, make sure you are set on yaw and not pitch, or roll. That will cause your robot to spin.

I can't read the name of the yellow objects... obviously white on yellow is a poor choice for my failing eyesight.
