In need of some help, not good with the boe-bot, have a program but will not work. More of a PLC kind of guy and need to write a program that follows a line of electrical tape using the QTI sensors on the bottom, Senses and avoids objects using the Ping sensor on top, then at the end of the line senses the closest object and goes to it stopping 5 cm short. Seems simple but am stumped on this one. If anyone has the program I'd appreciate it so that we can compare ours to the correct program. Thanks

    Have you looked at the documentation and example code that comes with the Qti line follower?

    Also, how far away will your "closest object" be?

    I haven't seen that, I'll be sure to read up on it. I have done some research online and been unable to get good information on it. The closest object will be between one to 3 feet. I have it running following the line already but it isn't picking up the Ping))) sensors very well though. I know others have done it because I have seen the robot perform the task on youtube. Any help would be great. Thanks
