AVR Navigator

Does the body inertia setting of the AVM Navigator module ramp the movement variables up and down? I'm worried that giving a simple on or off command to my motors will tear up the gearbox.
Thanks,
Dave

Dave,
Thank you for good idea it is really important moment for big (heavy) robots. And of course I will implement it (ramp mode) in next modification to soon.

Thanks for the quick response. Another suggestion would be to create a variable for center of recognized object, similar to RR's COG_X. The bigger the offset between the screen center and the center of the object, the bigger the value of the variable.
Presently my robot looks at COG_X and COG_BOX_SIZE. These values are mapped to a servos working range (my motor controller takes servo signals) so the speed of the motors is proportional to the offset. This naturally ramps the speed.

What if you try to use:
CenterOfObject_X = NV_ARR_OBJ_RECT_X[i] + NV_ARR_OBJ_RECT_W[i]/2;
CenterOfObject_Y = NV_ARR_OBJ_RECT_Y[i] + NV_ARR_OBJ_RECT_H[i]/2
where: i - index of object in array
-== Retrieve the recognized objects as array ==-
NV_ARR_OBJ_RECT_X - left-top corner X coordinate of recognized object
NV_ARR_OBJ_RECT_Y - left-top corner Y coordinate of recognized object
NV_ARR_OBJ_RECT_W - width of recognized object
NV_ARR_OBJ_RECT_H - height of recognized object
Or is this way not convenient?

that would work also.
Thanks,

Navigator plugin was updated. Now you can redownload the RoboRealm package for getting changes.
Now variables: NV_FORWARD, NV_BACKWARDS, NV_TURRET_LEFT, NV_TURRET_RIGHT is changing as ramp when turret/body inertia bigger than 0.
The variables: NV_LEFT and NV_RIGHT indicate when the robot should move forward or backwards to the left or right side (0 – off, 1 – on).
If body inertia (for example) is 4 then variables NV_FORWARD and NV_BACKWARDS will increase up to 5 when signal is activated and further will keep in this value.
For example see variables definition for motors in C terms:
int RightMotorForward = (NV_FORWARD && !NV_RIGHT) ? NV_FORWARD : 0;
int RightMotorBackwards = (NV_BACKWARDS && !NV_LEFT ) ? NV_BACKWARDS : 0;
int LeftMotorForward = (NV_FORWARD && !NV_LEFT ) ? NV_FORWARD : 0;
int LeftMotorBackwards = (NV_BACKWARDS && !NV_RIGHT) ? NV_BACKWARDS : 0;

Dave,
Can you to explain me the battery system of your robot? My robot using the RD02 kif of Devantech and the instructions show a 12 v battery and a 3+3 amp by motors. Now the robot working with 8 AA batteries but is for short time. The cuestión is I can connect directly a 12 v dc 7 or 12 amp acid battery to my md25 drive system? or I need a regulador no for volts, for ampers.
Thanks, your robot is very nice.
