drivebase turn until angle

[jeagh]

This is something like I'm trying to achieve:

angle = drive_base.angle()
while angle  < 180:
    drive_base.turn(forever) # instead of 2 degree steps
   angle = drive_base.angle()
    do this
    wait(10)

And this is spinet of what I have but I'm wondering if there's a better method?

  while True:
        drive_base.turn(2)
        angle = drive_base.angle()

        if angle < 180:
            do this
            wait(10)

Tip: When posting code, enclose it with three backticks ``` before and after. This keeps the indentation.

Depending on what you want to do, there are two ways.

1. Doing something else while you make a fixed turn

from pybricks.pupdevices import Motor
from pybricks.parameters import Port, Direction, Stop
from pybricks.robotics import DriveBase
from pybricks.tools import wait

# Initialize both motors and the drive base.
left_motor = Motor(Port.A, Direction.COUNTERCLOCKWISE)
right_motor = Motor(Port.B)
drive_base = DriveBase(left_motor, right_motor, wheel_diameter=56, axle_track=112)

# Start turning, but don't wait.
drive_base.turn(90, wait=False)

# We can do something else until it is done.
while not drive_base.done():
    print("Not done yet!")
    wait(100)

print("Done!")

2. Turning until a sensor/condition is triggered

from pybricks.pupdevices import Motor, ForceSensor
from pybricks.parameters import Port, Direction, Stop
from pybricks.robotics import DriveBase
from pybricks.tools import wait

# Initialize both motors and the drive base.
left_motor = Motor(Port.A, Direction.COUNTERCLOCKWISE)
right_motor = Motor(Port.B)
drive_base = DriveBase(left_motor, right_motor, wheel_diameter=56, axle_track=112)

# Initialize a sensor
sensor = ForceSensor(Port.F)

# Start turning forever.
drive_base.drive(speed=0, turn_rate=120)

# We can do something else until it is done.
while not sensor.pressed():
    wait(10)

print("pressed!")
drive_base.stop()

Thank you laurensvalk, I think a "not done loop" will do what I have in mind. I will try remember the back-ticks for next time. I just noticed the "<>" characters for enclosing code.
