Hello.

I am trying to make my quadcrawler to do something else instead of just walking around. So,i have decided to make my quadcrawler to follow a flashlight beam. Has anyone done this before? Can kindly show me how you did it? I mean how to build the circuit on the BOE because i am planning to use photoresistor. and the code related? Thanks! I would appreciate if anyone of this community help me! lol.gif

    Hello,

    ·· The theory in this is very much the same as the BOE-Bot following light...It can be done by following the same principles.· Obviously the sections of code that control the motion are different, but if you fully understand how that works on the Quad Crawler, then you can pick up the Light Following routines from the BOE-Bot manual and integrate them into your code.· The PDF version of the BOE-Bot manual is a free download from our website.
