Library is very slow

[L0laapk3]

If you have a robot, use for example, the following code while driving:

leftMotor.setmotor(_CCW, 0); rightMotor.setmotor(_CCW, 0);
The robot will turn the left wheel off first, then delay, and then the right wheel, causing the robot to turn 10-20 degrees left.

This is caused by

WEMOS_Motor_Shield_Arduino_Library/src/WEMOS_Motor.cpp

Line 114 in 3497cb3

delay(100);

Is there a reason that this delay is here? Whatever the reason is, blocking the entire code for 100 ms is not the solution. I highly recommend removing the delay, it is not appropriate. If there are I²C problems, these must be solved in a different way than this.

Have you tryed to run without it?

I have, and it works, but I would like to see this addressed in the right library.

Might be smart to let a yield(); take the place.

I removed delays

and controll my PS4 BT remote robot in this manner

if(millis()- TmStmpMtrCtrlOld >10){
M_R->setmotor( _CW, oldR2Value>0? (oldR2Value/3+15):0);
M_L->setmotor( _CW, oldL2Value>0? (oldL2Value/3+15):0);
TmStmpMtrCtrlOld=millis();
}
