OK, bottom line up front. Im not a professional but Im also no stranger to robotics or various logic controllers (BSx, AB, some proprietary stamps etc). I have used LabView for other projects but I am completely new to NXT programming.
I bought a Mindstorms set for my daughter and we're working on a project together so we can both learn. That being said, Im sure this will not be the last time I have to ask for help so thanks in advance to everyone out there willing to lend a hand (or in my case some extra brain power)
Our project is coming along nicely but we now need to make a motor to turn clockwise (in our case right) 90deg then stop, turn 180deg counter clockwise (left) then stop and finally turn again 90deg clockwise so its back to its original start position. Essentially wind one way, unwind back to the middle, then wind in the opposite direction 90 degrees, stop then unwind back to the start.
Need a hand figuring out the NXT functions that will get me there.
Thanks

Driving a specified distance is not exposed in the normal motor poly vi.
You can find it on the palettes here:
NXT Robotics: NXT I/O : Complete : Motors : Drive Distance.
Good luck!
