ControlP5 help

I'm trying to write code using Processing editor to control my robot. I'm using the ControlP5 library to create an user interface let lets me click on buttons to control my robot. How do I get the walking code to loop after clicking on the button? The walking code plays once after clicking on the button.

[code]

import controlP5.*;
ControlP5 cp5;
int myColor = color(255);
int c1,c2;
float n,n1;
import processing.serial.*;
Serial myPort;
void setup()
{
size(700,400);
noStroke();
cp5 = new ControlP5(this);
cp5.addButton("Stand").setValue(0).setPosition(100,100).setSize(100,20);
cp5.addButton("Sit").setValue(0).setPosition(100,130).setSize(100,20);
cp5.addButton("Squat").setValue(0).setPosition(100,160).setSize(100,20);
cp5.addButton("Walk").setValue(0).setPosition(100,190).setSize(100,20);
String portName = Serial.list()[0];
myPort = new Serial(this, portName, 115200);
myPort.write("#0 P1500 T0 \r ");
myPort.write("#1 P1500 T0 \r ");

You need to create a global variable to store which action the bot is doing at that moment.
That'll work as a flag state.

Then you make each button responsible to set its respective state in that variable.
Inside draw(), you make a switch/case block to call the right action function depending on that variable.

P.S.: You should also consider making an array to store those P1x00 used in myPort.write(""),
and make a loop to iterate between #0 - #23 and the P1x00 array!

I added a global variable to the code and it worked. How do create an array to store those P1x00 values? The P1x00 values are different for stand, sit, squat, and walk routines.

Here's an example for function robotWalk02() :

final static short[] robotWalk02 = {
  1500, 1500, 1750, 1750, 1500, 
  1500, 1500, 1500, 1750, 1750, 
  1500, 1500, 500, 2500, 1500, 
  1500, 1500, 1500, 1500, 1500, 
  1900, 1900, 1500, 1500
};

void robotWalk02() {
  for ( int i=0, ii=robotWalk02.length; i!=ii; 
  myPort.write("#"+ i +" P"+ robotWalk02[i++] +" T1000 \r ") );
}

It's much more compact now! ^_^

Hi Everyone,

I am very new to processing and trying to drive my Arduino Tank. I am able to hold down a key to move forward but when I select the controlP5 button it runs until i press another button for it to stop.

Is there a way for it to move only while pressing the button then stop on release?

Sorry if this has been covered but very new here...

Thanks,

Bart
