Newbie looking for Robot guidance...

Hey everyone -

This is my first post to the list and I am looking for someone who can help
me with the programming of my Line Following Robot's brain. I am using two
continuous servos for the driving and a set of four cadmium sulfide
photosensors to read the floor.

To start off, I need part of my stamp to act as a simple comparitor chip
(compares two voltages). Can anyone help with the commands and setup to
read the voltage coming from my line following module? I have read through
all kinds of manuels but I may just be missing something.

Like I said, I'm new to this and I'm trying to make this robot for an
Advanced Physics project.

Thanks for your time (and bandwidth),

-Steve Schenk

    You can use the RCTIME function to read the CdS photocells then use simple
    program logic (IF-THEN-ELSE) to perform your comparision.
