Code created by the participants of the Penzance outing for the Mission to Mars ByteSize program at Truro & Penwith College. Students were given the community created starter files and supported by mentors to complete the provided manoeuvrability challenges.
Students code is within the main.ino files, with some making tweaks and additions to the provided classes.
The challenges come with a core coin reward, with the prizes being totted up via the teams dashboard.
Clone the project locally and check out the main.ino file for starters.
The following examples will help you to begin working with the rovers. Try adding some to the loop within the main.ino file. As you begin to develop your rover instruction set, you'll likely want to encapsulate these groups of instructions into functions.
Motors Forwards
left_motor.forward(speed);
right_motor.forward(speed);
Motors Reverse
left_motor.reverse(speed);
right_motor.reverse(speed);
Turn off the motors
left_motor.stop();
right_motor.stop();
Returns an integer value for the distance between the sensor and nearest object in cm. Note: There should be a minimum delay of 50ms between each ping of the sensor.
sensor.distance_forwards();
sensor.distance_down();
sensor.left_light_sensor();
sensor.center_light_sensor();
sensor.right_light_sensor();
Returns an integer value for the number of pulses created by the hall effect sensor.
left_motor.get_pulse_count();
right_motor.get_pulse_count();
