[Semi-Emergency] Line Tracking & Light Finding with BS2

Jimmy H

Hi everyone,

This is my first time here, and yet I'm asking for a big favor [noparse]:D[/noparse]. I have two tests tomorrow on Line Tracking and Light Finding using Boebot BS2. My group and I have worked very hard on these two projects in the past two week, and had devised few version of the programs. But sadly, none of them completely work so far. I would really appreciate it if anyone shall take a look at our codes to see what's wrong with them, and perhaps give us some new idea (preferably a easy fix, since time is essential here) [noparse]:)[/noparse]

I thank you all in advance for helping a little kid wanting to learn robotics..


Our Boebot setup:

A photoresistor on IN7.

Code for Finding Light:

OldVal VAR Word
NewVal VAR Word
Counter1 VAR Word
Counter2 VAR Word
forCount VAR Word

forCount = 0

DO

IF (IN7 = 0) THEN

GOSUB Move_Backward

ENDIF

forCount = forCount + 1
IF(forCount > 1000) THEN
GOSUB Move_Backward
forCount = 0
ENDIF

GOSUB Get_Value
GOSUB Move_Forward
GOSUB Move_Forward
GOSUB Get_Value
IF NewVal <= OldVal THEN
Counter1 = 0 'Was missing before
DO UNTIL NewVal > OldVal OR Counter1 >= 20
GOSUB Move_Forward
GOSUB Get_Value
Counter1 = Counter1 + 1
LOOP
ENDIF
IF NewVal > OldVal THEN
Counter1 = 0
GOSUB Move_Backward
GOSUB Get_Value
DO UNTIL NewVal < OldVal OR Counter1 >= 20 'Was "NewVal > OldVal" before
GOSUB Move_Backward
GOSUB Get_Value
Counter1 = Counter1 + 1
LOOP
ENDIF

GOSUB Rotate_Left
GOSUB Get_Value
IF NewVal <= OldVal THEN
Counter1 = 0
DO UNTIL NewVal > OldVal OR Counter1 >= 20
GOSUB Rotate_Left
GOSUB Get_Value
Counter1 = Counter1 + 1

ENDIF
IF NewVal > OldVal THEN
Counter1 = 0
GOSUB Rotate_Right
GOSUB Get_Value
DO UNTIL NewVal < OldVal OR Counter1 >= 20 'Was "NewVal > OldVal" before
GOSUB Rotate_Right
GOSUB Get_Value
Counter1 = Counter1 + 1
LOOP
ENDIF
LOOP

Thank you!

You should add some info on what is wrong with your program and what it does. It makes it much easier to fix for you. I am just quote "a little kid" myself, but I will try to help myself, probably not soon enough for you tomorrow though. If you improve it you are more likely to get a response. Also, if you leave messages in your program telling us of what that section does it will make it much easier. Hope you do well tomorrow, and sorry if I can't provide more help in time, maybe someone smarter than me will give you help before your class.
