I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out.
I'm trying to add a counter to count the number of times a color sensor detects a certain color. This is for a project I am doing that involves an autonomous robot being able to detect when it has entered and exited a room. The rooms are lined with colored tape. While in the room, it also has to detect a certain color, in my case red, and perform a function when it detects that color. Once that is completed, the robot needs to exit the room and continue on to 3 other rooms and do the same thing.
The room colors are red, green, yellow, and blue.
I am brand new to coding and this has me wanting to punt my laptop through the wall. Can anyone take a look at what I have and give me some direction? I have tried to return boolean values, inserted nested while loops, nested if statements, but ive had no luck. I have attached my .ino file HOPEFULLY.
My color value ranges are fairly precise so it distinguishes between room colors and target colors pretty well. The only problem I have is that the "blue room" value and "red room" values are really close but that's ok. As long as it knows its entered and then exited the room. A plus would be to determine that if it somehow ends up back at a room its already been in, it knows not to enter that room. Be gentle when critiquing my code, as I said, I'm about 10 weeks in to coding. THANKS!
