Debugging Session on Inertial Sensor

1-on-1 Highlights
1

I had a great time in today’s 1-on-1 debugging session with @Michael_Saccone and his students working with VEX IQ!

Here are a few helpful tips and tricks that everyone may find useful:

  1. Use the Dashboard to monitor your sensor readings in real time.
  2. Start the robot on a flat, level surface so the sensors can calibrate properly.
  3. Use Print to Console or Print to Screen blocks to display sensor values while the program is running—super helpful for debugging.
  4. Adjust turn velocity for small turns. If you’re turning a small number of degrees, lowering the turn speed can improve accuracy.
  5. Test with another IQ Brain or hardware if you have extras available. This helps confirm whether the issue is software-related or hardware-related.

Overall, it was a fantastic session with Michael and his students. Wishing everyone the best—happy coding! :rocket::robot:
