Multitask

[Meki-Zeyad]

i was trying to use the multitask function but it really doesn’t do what its attending to do it should run all the motors that i programmed to run at the same time but it runs the first command then the other one like a normal program,

from pybricks.hubs import PrimeHub
from pybricks.pupdevices import Motor
from pybricks.parameters import Port, Direction, Stop, Button
from pybricks.robotics import DriveBase
from pybricks.tools import wait, run_task, multitask


# Initialize the hub
hub = PrimeHub()

# Initialize motors
f_motor = Motor(Port.A)  # 
l_motor = Motor(Port.C, Direction.COUNTERCLOCKWISE)  # 
r_motor = Motor(Port.B)  #

# DriveBase setup
wheel_diameter = 63
drive_base = DriveBase(l_motor, r_motor, wheel_diameter, axle_track=135)
drive_base.use_gyro(True)

# The code

multitask(
    drive_base.straight(100, Stop.HOLD),
    f_motor.run_time(400, 1000),
)

i even tryed using the async def it didnt work at all, and here are some videos of what happens

Hi,

From the pybricks documentation

The following example shows how to use multitasking to make a robot drive forward, then turn and move a gripper at the same time, and then drive backward.

from pybricks.pupdevices import Motor
from pybricks.parameters import Direction, Port
from pybricks.robotics import DriveBase
from pybricks.tools import multitask, run_task

# Set up all devices.
left = Motor(Port.A, Direction.COUNTERCLOCKWISE)
right = Motor(Port.B)
gripper = Motor(Port.C)
drive_base = DriveBase(left, right, 56, 114)


# Move the gripper up and down.
async def move_gripper():
    await gripper.run_angle(500, -90)
    await gripper.run_angle(500, 90)


# Drive forward, turn move gripper at the same time, and drive backward.
async def main():
    await drive_base.straight(250)
    await multitask(drive_base.turn(90), move_gripper())
    await drive_base.straight(-250)


# Runs the main program from start to finish.
run_task(main())

Maybe this helps.

PS

Please add before your source (three backtcks python), like this:

```python

and three backticks after it.
Then indentation is kept like it should.

Hello,

Did you already get your program running?

If not I generated a similar program as yours using block coding:

This runs the drivebase and the f-motor at the same time.
