NoWiskNecessaryRobotSensorList

No Wisk Necessary's Sensor List

We figured that we should have this page up here because so have sooo many sensors (also why our robot is called "Sens-ational"), that we should have a page up here to list and organize which sensor is which and what it does. Also, so that it doesn't confuse us when we program.

Photoresistors

• Used to determine the color of the ball
  • cr8->adc_center2
    • cr8_adc_enable(ADC_CENTER_2)
• Used to detect light from the goal from the "back" of the create
  • cr8->adc_right1
    • cr8_adc_enable(ADC_RIGHT_1)
• Left Front sensor (when egg trapper is on top of the robot) used to detect the light from the goal
  • cr8->adc_left1
    • cr8_adc_enable(ADC_LEFT_1)
• Right Front sensor (when egg trapper is on top of the robot) used to detect the light from the goal
  • cr8->adc_left2
    • cr8_adc_enable(ADC_LEFT_2)

Distance

• Used to use determine distance between create and ball
  • cr8->adc_center1
    • cr8_adc_enable(ADC_CENTER_1)

Toggle Switch

• Used to switch between Blue/Yellow ball color
  • cr8_dig_get(DIG_LEFT_3)
    • cr8_dig_enable(DIG_LEFT_3,DIG_INPUT_PULLUP);

Bump Switch

• Used to detect if wall is hit
  • cr8->adc_right2
    • cr8_adc_enable(ADC_RIGHT_2)

Servo Motor

• Used to trap ball using our egg trapper
  • cr8_cricket_servo_set(Port,Angle);
    • Port (found on the servo motor controller board): 0
    • Angle: Whatever you want
      • 255: Trapped Position
      • 0: Completely off position (do NOT use because it will crash onto the breakout boards) use like 120<?<180

Cricket Display

• Used as a debugging tool used to display certain values.
  • cr8_cricket_display(?,false,false);
  • Used for:
    • Distance
    • Photoresistor
    • Servo Motor Position

To make things easier to understand when programming, we can define a sensor as a simple word that we would use instead of cr8->...
