hi

i am a student. i am using vb6 to get an agv running. using mscomm to speak to a main micro which then addresses motor boards. at present i am just testing 2 motors to see if the program will work. in my foward command button the code is as follows:

1 mscomm.output = "MOT1SPF1000"

2 for icount = 1 to 10
3 icount = icount +1
4 next icount

5 mscomm.output = "MOT2SPF1000"

(the string basically tells motor 1 to turn forward at speed 1000)

the motors work fine when addressed indivually
but since i added lines 2-5 only 1 motor spins and it doesnt stop

please could someone advise me on how to correct the program

thank you

U r incrementing the value twice. Once in the For (which will automatically increment by 1) and once inside the for loop. So ur icount values are 1,3,5,7... . Since it never reaches 10, it goes into an infinite loop.

Use

thanks will try
