@@MichaelKlements Hi! I've since noticed it only ever turns one direction, regardless of obstacles location. I can reverse the turn direction by changing AF_DCMotor assignments Left to Right, but I can't get it to decide to best turn direction, it only goes same way each time. The servo was incorrectly looking right first, but fixing that didn't fix the problem. I downloaded your Code again in case I accidently changed something that matters, no go. Also played around with the 'int checkDirection()' in curiosity.. Anyway maybe you can suggest an answer if you have time. Thanks from QLD Australia.

Amazing project ! Just Additional Information... Ask permission Mr. Michael Klements for those of you who are new to assembling, then there is a problem with the speed of the motor.. the solution is: 1. Change the byte value of motorSpeed 2. check the condition of the battery, is it still good or not 3. check the state of the gear motors (dynamo) Thank you for your attention Greetings from Ponorogo, East Java, Indonesia

Hi Michael, great project. i am relatively new to Arduino and understand most of the sketch. However I would like to understand the difference between calling a function following a void command such as "void stopMove() and the call to distance=getDistance() where the getDistance code starts with the statement "int getDistance()" why isn't getDistance also a void statement? cheers.

@MichaelKlements

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Kerrie, There are two different types of functions, ones starting with void just carry out the code in the function and ones that start with int (or String, char, Boolean etc.) are functions that return an a variable or “answer” of that type. void stopMove just tells the motors to stop. Where int getDistance returns the distance measured to the object as an int variable type. Hope that helps make it clear

The two drivers unfortunately require that many pins to control them. If the driver is using the pins then you won't be able to connect an IO expansion board at the same time. You'd be best off finding an I2C motor driver then and that'll free up all of the digital pins for your sensors.

There is not steering mechanism on the car, so to turn left the right wheels run forward and the left wheels run backwards, if the motor speeds are set correctly then the car will rotate on the spot (it shouldn't move forwards or backwards while turning). It sounds like your motor speeds have been adjusted incorrectly, so one side is probably overpowering the other side.

I think you're misunderstanding what is happening in each function. The if statement checks if there is enough space infront of the car to move. If there is then it tells the car to move. Since nothing then tells the car to stop, the car will carry on moving until it is told to stop. The while loop then continuously checks that there is still space in front of the car and will carry on running as long as there is still space. As soon as there isn't space in front of the car, the while loop stops running and the code runs the stopMove command which then stops the car.

I assume you're talking about the jumper labelled "PWR" - mine is black not yellow. This is jumper that either allows the shield to supply power to the Arduino or disables this feature if the voltage is outside of the Arduino's range. If you're supplying power to the shield only then you need to have a jumper on here to power the Arduino as well. Using 3.7V batteries, you would need them to be connected in series and ensure that they can supply enough current to drive the motors.
