Post by HIGOR NERES »

Hello Guys,

I I am creating a robot that should be capable of following line and turn things around, my professor provide a main code for us make improvements to achieve the goal, but i can not understand this piece of code, may anybody help me out ?

Check it out:

Code: Select all

if (proxSensDist[1]>0.25*noDetectionDistance) then
                        velLeft=velLeft+maxVel*braitSideSens_leftMotor[1]*(1-(proxSensDist[1]/noDetectionDistance))
                        velRight=velRight+maxVel*braitSideSens_leftMotor[2]*(1-(proxSensDist[1]/noDetectionDistance))
All of it:

Code: Select all

if (opMode==0) then -- We wanna follow the line
            if (math.mod(st,2)>1.5) then
                intensity=1
            else
                intensity=0
            end
            for i=1,9,1 do
                ledColors[i]={intensity,0,0} -- red
            end
            -- Now make sure the light sensors have been read, we have a line and the 4 front prox. sensors didn't detect anything:
            if lightSens and ((lightSens[1]<0.5)or(lightSens[2]<0.5)or(lightSens[3]<0.5)) and (proxSensDist[2]+proxSensDist[3]+proxSensDist[4]+proxSensDist[5]==noDetectionDistance*4) then
                if (lightSens[1]>0.5) then 
                    velLeft=maxVel
                else
                    velLeft=maxVel*0.25
                end
                if (lightSens[3]>0.5) then 
                    velRight=maxVel
                else
                    velRight=maxVel*0.25
                end
            else
                velRight=maxVel
                velLeft=maxVel
                if (proxSensDist[2]+proxSensDist[3]+proxSensDist[4]+proxSensDist[5]==noDetectionDistance*4) then
                    -- Nothing in front. Maybe we have an obstacle on the side, in which case we wanna keep a constant distance with it:
                    if (proxSensDist[1]>0.25*noDetectionDistance) then
                        velLeft=velLeft+maxVel*braitSideSens_leftMotor[1]*(1-(proxSensDist[1]/noDetectionDistance))
                        velRight=velRight+maxVel*braitSideSens_leftMotor[2]*(1-(proxSensDist[1]/noDetectionDistance))
                    end
                    if (proxSensDist[6]>0.25*noDetectionDistance) then
                        velLeft=velLeft+maxVel*braitSideSens_leftMotor[2]*(1-(proxSensDist[6]/noDetectionDistance))
                        velRight=velRight+maxVel*braitSideSens_leftMotor[1]*(1-(proxSensDist[6]/noDetectionDistance))
                    end
