🐛[BUG] - motor `.get_direction()` does not work

[ssejrog]

Describe the bug This outputs 2147483647

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: The example project uses motor = 127 instead of motor.move(), so with that this is the example code.

void opcontrol() {
  pros::MotorGroup mg({1, 3});
  pros::Controller master(E_CONTROLLER_MASTER);
  while (true) {
    mg.move(master.get_analog(E_CONTROLLER_ANALOG_LEFT_Y));
    // Print the motor direction for the motor at index 1. (port 3)
    std::cout << "Motor Direction: " << mg.get_direction();
    pros::delay(2);
  }
}

Expected behavior Because the motor isn't reversed, I should see 1.

are the motors plugged in

are the motors plugged in

it turns out I was confusing two issues-

I'm having a constructor take a motor group instead of a vector of ints. I was trying to check the direction of the motors so I could copy/paste it to the "motor groups" that are used internally in the code. This didn't work, and then the example code didn't work (when I don't have motors in port 1 or 3), and I made this issue.

I've done more testing now and it seems like something still isn't quite right.

No matter what I do with the directions of 11 and 15, the only thing I see printed is 0. I tried{11, 15}, {-11, 15}, {-11, -15}, {11, -15}.

pros::MotorGroup mg({11, 15});
int dir = mg.get_direction();
using namespace pros;
void opcontrol() {
  std::cout << "Motor Direction: " << dir << "\n";
  printf("\n\n");
  pros::Controller master(E_CONTROLLER_MASTER);

  while (true) {
    mg.move(master.get_analog(E_CONTROLLER_ANALOG_LEFT_Y));
    dir = mg.get_direction();
    std::cout << "Motor Direction: " << dir << "\n";
    pros::delay(2);
  }
}

This is also true of 11 and -11 with a motor and not a motor group, only 0 is printed.

pros::Motor mg(11);
int dir = mg.get_direction();
using namespace pros;
void opcontrol() {
  std::cout << "Motor Direction: " << dir << "\n";
  printf("\n\n");
  pros::Controller master(E_CONTROLLER_MASTER);

  while (true) {
    mg.move(master.get_analog(E_CONTROLLER_ANALOG_LEFT_Y));
    // Print the motor direction for the motor at index 1. (port 3)
    dir = mg.get_direction();
    std::cout << "Motor Direction: " << dir << "\n";
    pros::delay(2);
  }
}

and it is also true of the C functions, only 0 is printed.

void opcontrol() {
  while (true) {
    pros::c::motor_move(-11, pros::c::controller_get_analog(pros::E_CONTROLLER_MASTER, pros::E_CONTROLLER_ANALOG_LEFT_Y));
    printf("Motor Direction: %d\n", pros::c::motor_get_direction(11));
    pros::delay(2);
  }
}

In all of these examples, I confirmed the motors were moving with the joystick. Sorry for not being as thorough initially!

We can't reproduce this. "2147483647" is when the motor is not plugged in, which you seem to have resolved. But if the motor is moving, it should output -1 or 1. Are you running the latest version of the kernel?
