I haven’t used those sensors but on the sharps the lower the number the further the distance. 10 seems pretty low to me. Are you sure you not measuring the longest distance instead of the shortest?
Chuck gave some good ideas too. And you really should use whitespace in your code to make it more readable. And comments helps not only others reading it but yourself if you don’t look at it for a while.
Symbol danger = 10 Symbol servo_turn = 700 Symbol turn = 500
main: readadc 0, b1 ; read left sensor readadc 1, b2 ; read right sensor if b1 <danger then ; if nothing in front of left sensor gosub nodanger ; go forward else gosub whichway ; otherwise check which way is clear end if goto main nodanger: high 5 : high 7 : low 4 : low 6 ; set motors forward return whichway: gosub totalhalt ; stop gosub servoturn ; scan pause servo_turn ; wait for servo to reach it’s position readadc 0, b1 ; check if clear or obstacle on left readadc 1, b2 ; check if clear or obstacle on right if b1<b2 then ; if way is clearer to left gosub lturn ; then turn left else gosub rturn ; otherwise turn right end if return totalhalt: low 4 : low 5 : low 6 : low 7 ; stop servo 0, 150 ; centre servo’s 0 and 1 servo 1, 150 wait 1 ; wait a second till they’re centred return servoturn: servo 0, 250 ; scan to the left servo 1, 50 ; scan to the right return lturn: high 5 : low 4 : low 6 : low 7 ; turn on motors to turn left pause turn : gosub totalhalt ; turn for half a second then stop return rturn: high 7 : low 4 : low 5 : low 6 ; turn on motors to turn left pause turn : gosub totalhalt ; turn for half a second then stop return
I think I wrote (some part of?) that code - it looks like my old standard labels
But I do not think I can recognize the mechanics of the robot?!
It looks like a strange mashup, and I think this is what you need to do:
Do not use my code, but delete everything.
Make 1 thing work! Very, very simple thing, make it work 100%, and have no code but the code to make that one thing work.
When done, add one line of code, to make the next thing work. Only 1 thing!!
Move on from there - and if stuck again, you are only stuck with 1 thing, and you can explain to us how you are stuck with that single thing, in every detail. And we need that in order to help.
But I think that if you take the approach of making one thing working at a time, you will not need help the same way
Note; Wen I wrote the original code, and when ever I, and or any body are making something that works, this is excactly how we do it. It’s the only way to write code for a robot.
Good on ya chuckie. That will make a difference. I didn’t see how you adjust the distance with it though. Is there a pot on the back? Those rings around it?
Like Chuck said below, these sensors are digital. So there is no reason to have them hooked up to analog inputs. I would just connect them to digital inputs and you will get a 0 or 1 reading. Right now you are treating them like they are analog.
That’s the wrong code for this sensor or the wrong sensor for this code. This sensor is more like digital. You can set the range with this little screw to your danger distance. The output of this sensor is just “0” or “1” …yes kind of digital. The range you set with this screw just triggers the output to “1” . There is no analog output related to the distance.
You just have to check if b1 is “1” or “0” and b2 is “1” or “0”
