mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 1 /****** RunMode0() *************************************************************
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 2 Purpose: Mode 0 is used for some very basic tests. It will test to see that the
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 3 car is "turned on" by printing a message to the computer telling us that it
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 4 is on. This mode also allows us to check that push buttons 'A' and 'B' are
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 5 working and that the LEDs on the board are working.
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 6 Most importantly, however, this quick and simple code will show us whether
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 7 or not our CODE is working before we spend too much time writing the rest of
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 8 the code.
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 9 Parameters: None
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 10 Returns: None

mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 14 /****** RunMode1() *************************************************************
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 15 Purpose: Mode 1 isolates the drive motors on the rear wheels. The potentiometers
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 16 on the board allow each motor to be adjusted individually. The numerical
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 17 value that the pot represents is output to our computer so that we can
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 18 gather some information about how the different values used for the drive
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 19 settings will affect the direction and/or speed of the wheels.
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 20 Parameters: None
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 21 Returns: None

mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 25 /****** RunMode2() *************************************************************
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 26 Purpose: Mode 2 isolates the steering servo. We are able to use a potentiometer
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 27 on the board to adjust the steering settings left and right. The values
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 28 being given to the steering servo are printed out to the computer so that
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 29 they can be recorded and used later if necessary.
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 30 Parameters: None
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 31 Returns: None
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 32 *******************************************************************************/

mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 35 /****** RunMode3() *************************************************************
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 36 Purpose: This function runs the camera test mode for the car. It disables the
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 37 motors and steering servo to prevent damage to that hardware while isolating
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 38 the camera output. First we check to see if the camera has an image ready
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 39 for us to see and then we decode the camera image and translate it into a
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 40 picture that can be displayed on the computer screen. The image on the
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 41 screen can be used to focus the camera lens. Dip switch 4 can be turned off
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 42 to output the original camera code to the screen if it is needed to test the
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 43 camera in this mode.
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 44 Parameters: None
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 45 Returns: None

mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 49 /****** RunMode4() *************************************************************
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 50 Purpose: Mode 4 is the first track mode. It takes all of the parts that we
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 51 tested in modes 0 thru 3 and puts them together to [hopefully] make our car
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 52 race around the track. Since we are still just testing the car, Mode 4 will
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 53 limit the top speed of the car just in case something doesn't work. We don't
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 54 want the car to crash into something too fast and break.
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 55 Parameters: None
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 56 Returns: None

mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 60 /****** RunMode5() *************************************************************
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 61 Purpose: Mode 5 does exactly what mode 4 does, except that it does it FASTER.
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 62 This makes the code VERY easy to write for Mode 5
mrkeithcyr 0:0699eb71778e 63 Parameters: None
