Regarding irMassageRecieve

[magnus]

Hi,

I have modified the battle method in the cpp to return an integer if there is a hit by a opposing team.
It seems like irMassageReceive does not contain the Missile.
I have tried removing the
"if(irMassageReceive == BLUE_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == GREEN_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == YELLOW_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == FREE_MISSILE)" and only check one at a time.

The outer check of team-variable works. But I cant get it to sense the missile. Any ideas? The weapon is set to correct. I see the light flashing on the bluetooth so I know it receives data. And I know some data is received by the Receive() method since the irMassageReceive is larger than 0.

Here is the modification I did

unsigned long CoDroneClass::BattleReceive()
{
   Receive();

   if(irMassageReceive > 0)
   {

   	if(team == TEAM_RED)
   	{
   		if(irMassageReceive == BLUE_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == GREEN_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == YELLOW_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == FREE_MISSILE)
   		{
   			BattleDamageProcess();		
   		}			
   	}						
   	else if(team == TEAM_BLUE)
   	{
   		if(irMassageReceive == RED_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == GREEN_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == YELLOW_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == FREE_MISSILE)
   		{				
   			BattleDamageProcess();
   		}			
   	}					
   	else if(team == TEAM_GREEN)
   	{
   		if(irMassageReceive == BLUE_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == RED_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == YELLOW_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == FREE_MISSILE)
   		{
   				BattleDamageProcess();				
   		}			
   	}		
   	else if(team == TEAM_YELLOW)
   	{
   		if(irMassageReceive == BLUE_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == GREEN_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == RED_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == FREE_MISSILE)
   		{				
   			BattleDamageProcess();
   		}			
   	}			
   	else if(team == FREE_PLAY)
   	{
   		if(irMassageReceive == RED_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == BLUE_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == GREEN_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == YELLOW_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == FREE_PLAY)
   		{				
   			BattleDamageProcess();
   		}			
   	}		
   	unsigned long returnIRMSG = irMassageReceive;
   	irMassageReceive = 0;
   	return returnIRMSG;
   }
}

and then in the main arduino code I call

  CoDrone.BattleShooting();
  unsigned long irmsg = CoDrone.BattleReceive();
  CoDrone.Send_LinkModeBroadcast(LinkModeMute);
  delay(200);
  Serial.println("-----------");
  Serial.println(irmsg);
  Serial.println("-----------");
  delay(200);
  CoDrone.Send_LinkModeBroadcast(LinkBroadcast_Active);

I have the Drone shoot a wall so the IR code can bounce off. Let me know if this helps.

Yes. I changed it to match the instatiated methods in the cpp file.
Meaning in the header:

int BattleRecieve();
instead of
void BattleRecieve();

[robolink_arnold]

@magnus did you change the header file?

[robolink_wes]

@robolink_arnold and @robolink_whoseop Can you two take a look at this and get back to Magnus? Thanks!

[magnus]

void CoDroneClass::BattleBegin(byte teamSelect)
{
	team = teamSelect;
	if(team == TEAM_RED)
	{		
		weapon = RED_MISSILE;
	}		
	else if	(team == TEAM_BLUE)
	{		
		weapon = BLUE_MISSILE;
	}	
	delay (300);

}

int CoDroneClass::BattleReceive()
{
	Receive();
	int result = -1;

	if(irMassageReceive > 0)
	{		
		if(team == TEAM_RED)
		{
			if(irMassageReceive == BLUE_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == GREEN_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == YELLOW_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == FREE_MISSILE)
			{
				result = 1;	
			}			

		}						
		else if(team == TEAM_BLUE)
		{

			if(irMassageReceive == RED_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == GREEN_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == YELLOW_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == FREE_MISSILE)
			{				
				result = 2;

			}			
		}					

		irMassageReceive = 0;
	}

	return result;
}

I first instantiate weapon and team in battlebegin. I just removed the color settings.
Then I make the BattleRecieve function return a value if one drone gets hit by the opponent. (I also change the .h file ofcourse. Everything compile)

I want to do this to send instructions to another drone. When one drone shoots the other should respond by taking off and perform its flightprogram.

Next in my arduino:

void setup
{
     CoDrone.BattleBegin(TEAM_BLUE);
}

int information = -1;

void loop
{
    information = CoDrone.BattleReceive();
    byte bt8 = DrigitalRead(11);

    if(information==1)
   {
        //Flight instructions here
   }
   if(bt8)
   {
         CoDrone.BattleShooting();
   }
}

The Same code is used on the other drone except a different team color.
I see that the bluetooth diod is flashing crazy when I shoot and hit the drone but I dont get the loop to start in my opponent
.

@magnus I will get back to you on this, we have not used irMassageReceive in our Arduino tutorials. Can you post the modification you made? like the whole function.
