Hello, I made a Self Driving and Obstacle Avoiding Car using Arduino UNO, L298N, Motors, Servo MG90S and Ultrasonic Sensor. The Car moves forward, once the obstacle comes the servo only looks the direction right and not left. Then after a long gap it moves forward and again everything repeats. I'm a grade 3 student. I had made the car before but at that time it worked. I am making this for a project in my school and need to submit this by tuesday... so kindly help me! Here's the code:
'''
#include <Servo.h> //Servo motor library. This is standard library
#include <NewPing.h> //Ultrasonic sensor function library. You must install this library
//our L298N control pins
const int LeftMotorForward = 7;
const int LeftMotorBackward = 6;
const int RightMotorForward = 4;
const int RightMotorBackward = 5;
//sensor pins
#define trig_pin A1 //analog input 1
#define echo_pin A2 //analog input 2
#define maximum_distance 200
boolean goesForward = false;
int distance = 100;
NewPing sonar(trig_pin, echo_pin, maximum_distance); //sensor function
Servo servo_motor; //our servo name
void setup(){
pinMode(RightMotorForward, OUTPUT);
pinMode(LeftMotorForward, OUTPUT);
pinMode(LeftMotorBackward, OUTPUT);
pinMode(RightMotorBackward, OUTPUT);
servo_motor.attach(11); //our servo pin
servo_motor.write(85);

}
int readPing(){

int cm = sonar.ping_cm();
if (cm==0){

}
return cm;
