tHIS POST IS A MESS. iT IS EDITED SEVERAL TIMES AND MAKES NO MORE SENCE. i HAVE NO TIME TO DO MORE ABOUT IT: bOTTOM LINE IS THAT THERE IS ATTACHED A ZIP-FILE WITH ALL i EVER DID INlINE-SENSORING FOR pICAXE!


 

Chris the carpenter asked for picaxe code to line follower.

First you have to hook up the sensors to the analouge in. That is a chapter for itself, but in the end you will have a value for each sensor; 0-255

I have tried some different line-sonsors, once JIP and I was playing around with them.

Today was the qualification round of DTU robocup. My robot did not do very well at all - it tied with 7 others for the last place - getting 0 points!

That problem was somewhat solved by adding a lot of cardboard and tape plus some clothing on top to keep the light out.

The robot measures line position with the 4 line sensors and feeds this to a PD-regulator which in turn produces the two motor outputs. This setup gives a smooth … Read more
