Line Follower with one sensor - Help to improve the code

Post by curka »

Hi All!

I and my brother started to build a line follower with one Line Finder sensor. This is our first Arduino project, please help us to improve the code. Is it okay? It’s very important for my brother.

Parameters:
ArduinoATMega2560
Pololu tb6612fng
2 DC motos 5V
1 Line Finder Sensor



I uploaded the Schematic and the Code.



Code:

Code: Select all

#define M1 44 //Pin4 : Motor1 direction of rotation (Left Motor) 
#define EN1 5 //Pin5 : Motor1 speed (PWM) 
#define EN2 6 //Pin6 : Motor2 speed (PWM)    
#define M2 46 //Pin7 : Motor2 direction of rotation (Right Motor)

int LineFinder = 52;  // sensor input is connected to digital 
int Motor = 80;   // Initial motor speed 
int limit = 820;  // Line detection limit

void setup()  //settings 
{ 
  pinMode(EN1, OUTPUT);  //Motor1 speed lab: output    
  pinMode(EN2, OUTPUT);  //Motor2 speed lab: output 
  pinMode(M1, OUTPUT);   // Motor1 direction of rotation lab: output  
  pinMode(M2, OUTPUT);   // Motor2 direction of rotation lab: output 
} 

void loop()  //Main program  - infinite loop 
{ 
  LineFinder = digitalRead (52);    // voltage measurement of sensor (0 - 1023 value between) 

// If the sensor is above the pale floor: forward
  if (LineFinder>Limit) 
  {
   MotorLeft(Motor-2);  //Left motor: forward 
   MotorRight(Motor);   //Right motor: forward 
  }

// If the sensor is above the line: Turn left 
  else if (LineFinder>Limit)
  {
   MotorLeft(0);     //Left motor: stop 
   MotorRight(Motor);   //Right motor: forward 
  }

// Forward (the sensor is above the line: crossroads) 
    else if (LineFinder>Limit)
  {
   MotorLeft(Motor-2);  //Left motor: forward 
   MotorRight(Motor);   //Right motor: forward 
  }
  delay(50);  // Wait 50ms   
} 

void MotorLeft(int speed) 
{   
    if (speed>0)  //Forward 
   {
   digitalWrite(M1,HIGH);   //M1 direction (forward) 
       analogWrite(EN1,speed*255/100);  //M1 speed(PWM) 
   } 
   else  //Reverse 
   {
   digitalWrite(M1,LOW);  //M1 direction (reverse)
       analogWrite(EN1,abs(speed)*255/100);  //M1 speed(PWM) 
   }
} 

void MotorRight(int speed) 
{   
    if (speed>0)  //Forward 
   {
   digitalWrite(M2,HIGH);   //M2 diretion (forward)
       analogWrite(EN2,speed*255/100); //M2 speed(PWM)
   } 
   else  //Reverse 
   {
   digitalWrite(M2,LOW);   //M2 direction (reverse)
       analogWrite(EN2,abs(speed)*255/100); //M2 speed(PWM)
   }
}
