Help with Micromouse using stepper motors for class project

Former Member
Former Member over 13 years ago

I'm trying to run an error correction code for my mouse so it does not run into walls. I want the mouse to move forward one cell at a time (173 steps). But it detects right and left walls, I want it to correct itself. If it doesnt detect a wall on either or both sides, I want the mouse to simply move to the next cell. Im not a strong programmer so much help would be appreciated. The code for my move forward one cell is listed below:

 

void goStraightOneSquare()

    {

      int i = 0;

 

      for (i=0; i<173; i++) {

        rightmotor1.step(1, BACKWARD, DOUBLE);

        leftmotor2.step(1, FORWARD, DOUBLE); //move foward 173 steps

        if(analogRead(RightSensePin) < 1010 || analogRead(LeftSensePin) < 1010)

        rightmotor1.step(1, BACKWARD, DOUBLE);

        leftmotor2.step(1, FORWARD, DOUBLE);

       

    if(1020 < analogRead(RightSensePin) < 1023) //if too far from right wall, left motor takes a step

        leftmotor2.step(1, FORWARD, DOUBLE);

    if(1020 < analogRead(LeftSensePin) <1023) //if too far from left wall, right motor takes a step

        rightmotor1.step(1, BACKWARD, DOUBLE);

   

    }

    delay (250);
