Let's Build our First Robot!4:50
Here we will learn how we can build our first Robot.
The code is given below for your ease:
// Program for Obstacle Avoidance Robot Skippy
//Defining the pins before the setup
#define echopin 9
#define trigpin 8
#define motorLeft2 3
#define motorRight2 5
#define motorLeft1 6
#define motorRight1 7

int maximumRange = 30;
long duration, distance;
void setup() {
Serial.begin (9600); // setting up the serial communication
pinMode (trigpin, OUTPUT); // setting the Input / Output in setup
pinMode (echopin, INPUT );
pinMode (motorLeft1, OUTPUT); // pins for motor movement
pinMode (motorLeft2, OUTPUT);
pinMode (motorRight1, OUTPUT);
pinMode (motorRight2, OUTPUT);
}
void loop ()
{
{
digitalWrite(trigpin,LOW);
delayMicroseconds(2);
digitalWrite(trigpin,HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(10);
duration=pulseIn (echopin,HIGH);
distance= duration/58.2;
delay (50);
Serial.println(distance);
}
if (distance >= 30 ){
digitalWrite(motorLeft1,HIGH);
digitalWrite(motorRight1,HIGH);
digitalWrite(motorLeft2,LOW);
digitalWrite(motorRight2,LOW);
delay (200);
}
else if (distance >=15 && distance <= 25) {
digitalWrite (motorLeft1,HIGH);
digitalWrite (motorRight1,LOW);
digitalWrite (motorLeft2,LOW);
digitalWrite (motorRight2,LOW);
delay (1000);
}
else if (distance < 15){
digitalWrite (motorLeft1, LOW);
digitalWrite (motorRight1, LOW);
digitalWrite (motorLeft2,HIGH);
digitalWrite (motorRight2,HIGH);
delay (1000);
digitalWrite (motorLeft1,LOW);
digitalWrite (motorRight1,HIGH);
digitalWrite (motorLeft2,LOW);
digitalWrite (motorRight2, LOW);
delay (1000);
}
