hello everyone
so i have this code and i had to make some changes to it can anyone tell me if its gonna work…
it for an obstacle avoiding robot and uses one HCSRF-04 with 2 continuous rotating servos and one small servo attached to the sensor
thanks
//
#include <Servo.h> //include Servo library
const int RForward = 180;
const int RBackward = 0;
const int LForward = RBackward;
const int LBackward = RForward;
const int RNeutral = 90;
const int LNeutral = 90; //constants for motor speed
#define trigPin 12 // define the pins of your sensor
#define echoPin 13
const int dangerThresh = 10; //threshold for obstacles (in cm)
int leftDistance, rightDistance; //distances on either side
Servo panMotor;
Servo leftMotor;
Servo rightMotor; //declare motors
long duration; //time it takes to recieve PING))) signal
void setup()
{
rightMotor.attach(9);
leftMotor.attach(10);
panMotor.attach(6); //attach motors to proper pins
panMotor.write(90); //set PING))) pan to center
}
void loop()
{
int distanceFwd = ping();
if (distanceFwd>dangerThresh) //if path is clear
{
leftMotor.write(LForward);
rightMotor.write(RForward); //move forward
}
else //if path is blocked
{
leftMotor.write(LNeutral);
rightMotor.write(RNeutral);
panMotor.write(0);
delay(500);
rightDistance = ping(); //scan to the right
delay(500);
panMotor.write(180);
delay(700);
leftDistance = ping(); //scan to the left
delay(500);
panMotor.write(90); //return to center
delay(100);
compareDistance();
}
}
void compareDistance()
{
if (leftDistance>rightDistance) //if left is less obstructed
{
leftMotor.write(LBackward);
rightMotor.write(RForward); //turn left
delay(500);
}
else if (rightDistance>leftDistance) //if right is less obstructed
{
leftMotor.write(LForward);
rightMotor.write(RBackward); //turn right
delay(500);
}
else //if they are equally obstructed
{
leftMotor.write(LForward);
rightMotor.write(RBackward); //turn 180 degrees
delay(1000);
}
}
long ping()
{
long duration, distance; // start the scan
digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
delayMicroseconds(2); // delays are required for a succesful sensor operation.
digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(10); //this delay is required as well!
digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);;
//Convert duration into distance
return duration / 29 / 2;
}
//
