Hi Cedos,
Probably you don't need to measure and calculate the diff twice in every loop? You can do it before moving the motors(after line 31)

Hello, I tried without recomputing the diff but it wasn’t enough accurate when turning, I will try again and test if it works well with your suggestion.
Best regards
Cédric

Would something like this work?

 while(1){
 int currentAngle=compassRead();
 int diff=target-currentAngle;
 if(abs(diff)<1){
 motorsStop();
 return;
 }
 direction=180-(diff+360)%360;
 if(direction<0){
 motorsWrite(speed,-speed);//right
 delay(10);
 }else{
 motorsWrite(-speed,speed);//left
 delay(10);
 }
 }

Hi again, I tried your suggestion and it works , but it far less accurate , tried this code :
void RobotControl::pointTo(int angle){
int target=angle;
uint8_t speed=80;
target=target%360;
if(target<0){
target+=360;
}
int direction=angle;
while(1){
int currentAngle=compassRead();
int diff=target-currentAngle;
if(abs(diff)<2){
motorsStop();
return;
}
direction=180-(diff+360)%360;
if(direction<0){
motorsWrite(speed,-speed);//right
delay(10);
}else{
motorsWrite(-speed,speed);//left
delay(10);
}
//if(diff<-180)
// diff += 360;
//else if(diff> 180)
// diff -= 360;
//direction=-diff;

 //currentAngle=compassRead();
 //diff=target-currentAngle;
 /*if(abs(diff)<1){
 motorsStop();
 return;
 }*/
}

}

I agree with you it looks like it would be working but the fact is that it works less accurately, with my code it turns perfectly well at right angle every times.

Maybe you can do testing on your side with both versions ?

I use the robot logo example.

I don't have a robot by hand at the moment, will do some tests Monday when I get back to my work place

Hi @X-Y, did you manage to test the fix on real hardware? Did it behave correctly?

Hello Martino, yes I’ve tested it on real hardware and it behave correctly.

Best regards,

Cédric

@Cedos14 I'm sure it works in your setup but I need at least one more feedback before merging 😏

I understand very well your opinion and I would do the same :)
