I'm trying to create a function servo_to_quadrant that returns the value servo_quadrant.
Questions similar to this one have involved there being an issue with a global variable outside of the function. I don't think that's the issue in this case, as the variable is only needed from within the function (although I could be wrong).
Code:
def servo_to_quadrant(servo_val):
if servo_val < 0: 360 + servo_val
if servo_val >= 360: servo_val = servo_val - 360
if servo_val >= 0 and servo_val < 90: servo_quadrant = 1
if servo_val >= 90 and servo_val < 180: servo_quadrant = 2
if servo_val >= 180 and servo_val < 270: servo_quadrant = 3
if servo_val >= 270 and servo_val < 360: servo_quadrant = 4
return servo_quadrant
servo_val = -30
quadrant = servo_to_quadrant(servo_val)
print(quadrant)
Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

It's because you have assigned the variable servo_quadrant under one of the preceding if conditions in your function, and if none of the conditions return True, you will haven't any servo_quadrant. For getting ride of this problem you need to initial this variable in your function.
You can put servo_quadrant = 0 on top level of your function or you can check the value of the servo_quadrant before you return anything :
if servo_quadrant :
return servo_quadrant
return None
Also Note that you need to reassign variable servo_val :
if servo_val < 0: servo_val=360 + servo_val
Demo:
def servo_to_quadrant(servo_val):
servo_quadrant=0
if servo_val < 0: servo_val=360 + servo_val
if servo_val >= 360: servo_val = servo_val - 360
if servo_val >= 0 and servo_val < 90: servo_quadrant = 1
if servo_val >= 90 and servo_val < 180: servo_quadrant = 2
if servo_val >= 180 and servo_val < 270: servo_quadrant = 3
if servo_val >= 270 and servo_val < 360: servo_quadrant = 4
return servo_quadrant
servo_val = -30
quadrant = servo_to_quadrant(servo_val)
print quadrant
Result:
4
