Bug: Case 04 in the manual doesn't start cruising again

[dannystaple]

Using the code from Case 4 in the manual, the Automatic Obstacle avoidance, the robot appears to stop and turn at any obstacle (or anything in sensor range), but then does not start cruising again.

Python code (based on the same makecode blocks as the manual):

basic.show_icon(IconNames.HEART)

def on_forever():
    sonar_reading = CutebotPro.ultrasonic(SonarUnit.CENTIMETERS)
    if sonar_reading > 2 and sonar_reading < 20:
        CutebotPro.trolley_steering(CutebotProTurn.LEFT_IN_PLACE, CutebotProAngle.ANGLE180)
    else:
        CutebotPro.cruise_control(30, 30, CutebotProSpeedUnits.CMS)
basic.forever(on_forever)

What I expected:

• After the object is detected, and the "trolley steering" turn is made
• The else will be active and the robot will start "cruising" at pwm 30 with both motors.

What happens:

• After the object is detected, and the "trolley steering" turn is made
• The robot does not start cruising again.
• If I put an object in front of the sensor, it does make the turn again, so the loop is running.

I am happy to work with someone testing code on my CuteBot Pro and Microbit V2 setup to find out why it's doing this.

Thank you for your question. I'll arrange for someone to investigate the cause
