_DREACHED not working when excactly on position

I encountered a problem:
When in MicroBasic sending a motor to a specific position (setcommand(_MOTPOS, 1, Position[8])
The motor is moving and when near the desired position (getvalue(_DREACHED, 1) = 1) gets true.
However when the motor is exactly on the position when the _MOTPOS command is given, the value of _DREACHED never comes to 1.
So in the MicroBasic the software is waiting until _DREACHED is 1 and this NEVER happens.

I temporary solved this problem by also looking at the position of the motor (Getvalue(_ABCNTR, 1)) and when this is exactly the desired position in the MicroBasic program also recognizes that the position is reached.
TempMotorPosition = Getvalue(_ABCNTR, 1)
if ((TempMotorPosition = Position[8]) OR (getvalue(_DREACHED, 1) = 1)) then

Maybe you can look at the firmware and correct this problem.

Kind regards,

Hello Bart,

We are going to try to replicate the problem you are having. To do that we will need the following items:

- The model number of the motor controller you are using.
- The version of firmware you are using (Should be in the lower right hand corner of Roborun+ while connected to the controller).
- A backup of the controllers configuration (.xml file from the save profile to disk button in the configuration tab of Roborun+).
- A copy of the script you are using (.mbs file saved from the scripting tab of Roborun+).

Either post these items in a .zip archive attachment in a reply to this post, or email them to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
