Line following BubbleRob tutorial dont work

Post by lyl »

I followed the user's manual to the Line Following BubbleRob tutorial, but one of the things I made was spinning backwards in place for some reason!The code uses the official website——https://www.coppeliarobotics.com/helpFiles/index.html[img]C:\Users\风继续吹\Desktop\Line following BubbleRob tutorial [/img]

That's correct, but the tutorial scene should contain the working script. Here again for info (that's for CoppeliaSim V4.2.0):

Code: Select all

function sysCall_init()
    bubbleRobBase=sim.getObjectHandle(sim.handle_self)
    leftMotor=sim.getObjectHandle("bubbleRob_leftMotor")
    rightMotor=sim.getObjectHandle("bubbleRob_rightMotor")
    noseSensor=sim.getObjectHandle("bubbleRob_sensingNose")
    minMaxSpeed={50*math.pi/180,300*math.pi/180}
    backUntilTime=-1 -- Tells whether bubbleRob is in forward or backward mode
    floorSensorHandles={-1,-1,-1}
    floorSensorHandles[1]=sim.getObjectHandle("bubbleRob_leftSensor")
    floorSensorHandles[2]=sim.getObjectHandle("bubbleRob_middleSensor")
    floorSensorHandles[3]=sim.getObjectHandle("bubbleRob_rightSensor")
    robotTrace=sim.addDrawingObject(sim.drawing_linestrip+sim.drawing_cyclic,2,0,-1,200,{1,1,0},nil,nil,{1,1,0})
    -- Create the custom UI:
    xml = '<ui title="'..sim.getObjectName(bubbleRobBase)..' speed" closeable="false" resizeable="false" activate="false">'..[[
                <hslider minimum="0" maximum="100" on-change="speedChange_callback" id="1"/>
            <label text="" style="* {margin-left: 300px;}"/>
        </ui>
        ]]
    ui=simUI.create(xml)
    speed=(minMaxSpeed[1]+minMaxSpeed[2])*0.5
    simUI.setSliderValue(ui,1,100*(speed-minMaxSpeed[1])/(minMaxSpeed[2]-minMaxSpeed[1]))
    
end

function sysCall_sensing()
    local p=sim.getObjectPosition(bubbleRobBase,-1)
    sim.addDrawingObjectItem(robotTrace,p)
end 

function speedChange_callback(ui,id,newVal)
    speed=minMaxSpeed[1]+(minMaxSpeed[2]-minMaxSpeed[1])*newVal/100
end

function sysCall_actuation() 
    result=sim.readProximitySensor(noseSensor)
    if (result>0) then backUntilTime=sim.getSimulationTime()+4 end
    
    -- read the line detection sensors:
    sensorReading={false,false,false}
    for i=1,3,1 do
        result,data=sim.readVisionSensor(floorSensorHandles[i])
        if (result>=0) then
            sensorReading[i]=(data[11]<0.5) -- data[11] is the average of intensity of the image
        end
    end
    
    -- compute left and right velocities to follow the detected line:
    rightV=speed
    leftV=speed
    if sensorReading[1] then
        leftV=0.03*speed
    end
    if sensorReading[3] then
        rightV=0.03*speed
    end
    if sensorReading[1] and sensorReading[3] then
        backUntilTime=sim.getSimulationTime()+2
    end
    
    if (backUntilTime<sim.getSimulationTime()) then
        -- When in forward mode, we simply move forward at the desired speed
        sim.setJointTargetVelocity(leftMotor,leftV)
        sim.setJointTargetVelocity(rightMotor,rightV)
    else
        -- When in backward mode, we simply backup in a curve at reduced speed
        sim.setJointTargetVelocity(leftMotor,-speed/2)
        sim.setJointTargetVelocity(rightMotor,-speed/8)
    end
end 

function sysCall_cleanup() 
    simUI.destroy(ui)
end 
Cheers

I tried putting your code into bubbleRob's Child script, but the results didn't change and my three visual sensors were black all the time as if they couldn't pick up the line![img]C:\Users\风继续吹\Desktop[/img]

So which version of CoppeliaSim are you running? And what platform?
Is there any error message?

version 4.2.0,. Just inside coopeliasim with the embedded script inside run, no error message.

Please post your scene. Something must be wrong.

You need to post the scene file, not the picture, if you want us to have a look at it!
