LEGO nxt Line Follow with moving sensor 1.0

admin — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 13:32:56 +0000

Interresting facts with the concept:
- Moving light sensor can replace multiple sensors in theory
- I had to compensate sensor movment backlash from software
- Algorythm 1.0 restricts to the seen top speed
- Corrects course on slide ends, thus it can easily loose path (aka 2 wide samples per second)

Future possible improvements:
- Smaller backlash from hardware
- Automatic backlash calibration
- More intelligent driving algorythm
- Continuous sampling, and path adaptation
- Lost line situation handling
