Hi All,

I have been developing an Android application controlled robot(BOEbot) and want the design and code for a combined circuit for IR and QTI sensors.
Is there already such combination of circuits design present in Parallax?

Regards.

    Not quite sure what you mean by a combined circuit for IR and QTI sensors. These sensors are standalone modules that the BOEbot can be programmed to read individually. Those readings could be used by the BOEbot or Android application to control the BOEbot.

    Hi Nchoudhury,

    Take a look at Applied Robotics with the SumoBot. The SumoBot robot also uses a BASIC Stamp 2, and the same servos as the Boe-Bot. The two robots use slightly different IR receivers due to the circuitry unique to the SumoBot board, but the coding technique is the same for both. This book has example code using 4 IR emitter/receiver pairs along with 2 QTI sensors, for autonomous robot sumo wrestling. In addition, this book includes programming techniques for handling input from multiple sensors in a very efficient way. You can get the book PDF and example BS2 code for free under the Downloads and Documentation tab here:

    Welcome to the forums Nchoudhury! Please clarify, you want to follow a line with QTI sensors while using the IR receivers for obstacle avoidance or receiving Sony TV remote IR codes?

    Hi erco,

    yes absolutely i require the BOEbot to follow a line using QTI sensors at the same time to avoid obstacle using the IR sensors. Is there any such existing projects done explicitly for a BOEbot?

    regards.
