View

After the completion of this module the students will be able to:

describe the Edpy environment
use the setup functions of Edpy
create code to drive forward and backward the Edison robot using Edpy commands
create code to turn the Edison robot using Edpy commands

8.1.5 - Unlimited Distance - limited Time

So what if you want to drive your robot without stopping or stop it after an event or after some time. Then you have to use the parameter Ed.DISTANCE_UNLIMITED

Copy the following code to edison

#-------------Setup----------------

import Ed

Ed.EdisonVersion = Ed.V2

Ed.DistanceUnits = Ed.CM
Ed.Tempo = Ed.TEMPO_MEDIUM

#--------Your code below-----------

Ed.Drive(Ed.FORWARD, Ed.SPEED_6, Ed.DISTANCE_UNLIMITED)
Ed.TimeWait(500, Ed.TIME_MILLISECONDS)
Ed.Drive(Ed.STOP, Ed.SPEED_10, 0)

With these set of commands edison drives forward with speed 6 for 500 milliseconds or half a second.
