Hi,
I ran the following simple code and the NXT 2.0 brick just hangs. I keep hearing some ticks but nothing else happens. I upgraded the firmware to 1.31 to make sure but that did not help. Does anyone have any ideas? I assume that float variables are supported in NXT 2.0. Here is the code snippet that causes the problem.

#define Kproportional 6

task main(){
int error = 0;
float proportional = 0;

proportional = Kproportional * error;
}

Thanks for the help.

It runs just fine for me. I am using version 1.32 of John's EFW.

Try this so you can actually see the result:

Code: Select all

#define Kproportional 6

task main(){
  int error = 0;
  float proportional = 0;

  proportional = Kproportional * error;
  NumOut(0, LCD_LINE1, proportional);
  while(true);
}

Although with an error of 0, the result should be 0 (6*0=0).

roboteer, I had a similar problem with float when I first started using NXC. However, I can't remember what the problem turned out to be. It was something really simple though. (I suffer from CRS = Can't Remember Stuff.

Oh, make sure you have your FW related compiler settings set according to your NXT FW version.

What version of the compiler and BricxCC are you using?

And you have the latest enhanced firmware?

Yup, I got it working. I had a very old version of the firmware installed. By the way, it matters how the color sensor is physically installed. I installed it on the back of the robot and my program now drives it backwards around the track. In case anyone wanted to know.

Thanks for all the help.
