I’ve put together the perimeter wire kit but I don’t know what to do next and how to attach it to a robot. I’ve read the post and I get some of it but not the where to attach it and what to attach it to eg An Arduino. Thank you for your time and feel free to ask questions.
What should a finished one look like attached to a robot because that the bit I’m getting confused about. I’ve read the post but what and where to attach it to doesn’t seem to make sense
The generator only needs to be connected to a wall adapter of between 5V and 12V (12V is best). You’ll need to calibrate using the onboard potentiometer (blue).
The sensor has two screw terminals, one for each inductor, as well as connections to a microcontroller:
S1, S2 for signal output to analog pins on the Arduino
5V to 5V on the Arduino
GND to GND on the Arduino
You would run the wire from the generator around (in a loop) the perimeter which you want to detect.
Play around with the locations of the sensors and signal strength manually before installing the inductors on the robot.
