How to make three motors move in Sync with MINDSTORMS and SPIKE

[@isaiahproctor8070]

Yo, this is so helpful. Been playing with the code a bit trying to figure out the little weird parts of it. Super helpful man keep it up!

[@AntonsMindstorms]

Glad to hear it!

Love you videos! Can you please make more videos for 51515 alone for those who are not lucky enough to have Spike as well? Being Spike so expensive compared to what you get, I think most people will have 51515 only, at least that's my case. Thanks!

THANKS APPRECIATED

Thanks for the videos

Hi, thank you for sharing. May I know if I can use Mindstorms EV3 set to build and program it? Currently I only have EV3, and find the EV3 CLASSROOM is different from 51515 set software. It looks like EV3 software does not have some of the coding blocks 51515 has. Thanks a lot!

Anton, a perfect channel. I wish there was a block to synchronize 4 motors at once. Let's say I have 4-legged and I want all 4 legs to be in perfect sync. Any ideas how to do it?

[@GrzegorzGlowaty]

In other words I'm looking into executing two parallel movement blocks for infinite time. If I just start two movement and then Stop Movement, only one of them stops.

I made a video about this with Gelo. I also created some python boiler plate to make it really easy.

Thank you. Very well explained. That helped loads! Subscribed. :-)

Hi, Anton. i have an rc i want to move with multiple motors, any idea how i can program it to do that? please let me know. :)

[@MisterFitzGibbon]

Is there a simple way to have motors running in parallel in Python? The rotation of each is specific so I can't use the MotorPairs. Thanks Anton

[@AntonsMindstorms]

Yes. It's on my github: github.com/antonvh/mpy-robot-tools

[@UltimateLegoProductions123]

Awesome!!

[@rixsterplays]

Thanks!

Is there a way I can get 4 motors to go at once?

Sometimes while using the broadcast block, multiple receive commands don’t work at the same time. Please help me find a solution

[@AntonsMindstorms]

What have you tried?

[@D1S0-]

@@AntonsMindstorms I set up 2 receive blocks for one broadcast, I made it so the receive blocks aligns 2 motors each, then the 2 motors move synchronized. So the left side of the robot moves 2 motors backwards, right side moves 2 motors forwards. But how do I synchronize the left and right side? This was very hard to explain. Perhaps I can send some sort of media (pic or video)?

[@AntonsMindstorms]

@@D1S0- ​ Have you tried 4 receive blocks, instead of one per side?

[@D1S0-]

@@AntonsMindstorms sorry for replying so late, I didn’t get a notification for some odd reason, what I wrote might have been a bit confusing to read. To sum it up, I’m trying to synchronize 4 motors but make 2 turn right, and make the other 2 turn left. Maybe there’s a better way to achieve this? They need to be perfectly synchronized because I’m making a quadruped robot dog.

@@D1S0- Yes. The solution is the same as I mentioned a week ago.
