wall avoidance

[cooldog]

does anyone know a algorithm for a single sharp Ir wall avoidance or a tutorial

[Steve Joblin]

I would mount the unit on a servo that rotates the sensor to the left side, takes a reading, rotates the sensor to the middle, takes a reading, rotates the sensor to the right side, takes a reading, then determines what action to take based on the data it just collected from the three readings.  Then continuously repeat the process.

OK but where can i get a algorithm for that ( i don't know how to program )

you should do tutorials on programming and learn other stuff, not just take other people's work


if you're doing that and not learning , whats the point of making a robot?

you do want to learn right???

[Steve Joblin]

the programming is pretty straight forward for the approach I suggested... what microcontroller are you using?

[cooldog]

AT MEGA 8 form the $50 robot

A simple if statement like this:

if( irRange > 120){
  turn
}

Works. I am using that for my object avoidance bot right now using the Sharp IR sensor until I turn it into a mapping bot.
