Arty S7 50 ArtyBot - Color sensing and line follower

Arty S7 50 ArtyBot - Color sensing and line follower

In this post we will add a Pmod COLOR sensor to our robot developed on the AMD-Xilinx Spartan-7 FPGA of the Digilent Arty S7 board. That sensor will allow the robot to detect colors in its vicinity and we will try to make a simple line follower using the sensor. The sensor response is quite slow for its application as a line sensor, but we will try to create a lazy line follower.

This lazy line follower uses the Bot Application Framework that we have prepared for the Digilent Arty S7 based robot.

This post is part 9 of my contribution to the "7 Ways to Leave Your Spartan-6" program, learning about the Xilinx Spartan-7 FPGA on the Digilent Arty S7 50 board.

Pmod COLOR

The Digilent Pmod COLOR (Revision A) is a color sensor module with the ability to sense red, green, blue and clear light.

The onboard AMS TCS3472 integrates an IR blocking filter to accurately determine the color of objects as well as sense ambient light under varying lighting conditions and through attenuating materials.

Reference: Pmod COLOR Reference Manual - Digilent Reference

Emubot Line Follower Digilent Pmod COLOR

The Pmod COLOR module comes in a small antistatic plastic envelope with this information:

Pmod COLOR

The Pmod Color utilizes the TCS3472 to detect color in the near vicinity. While communicating with the host board via the I²C protocol using an I²C address of 0x29 the robot can measure color.

A user controlled white LED is also provided to help illuminate the object and improve color determination.

Construction: Attaching and Connecting the Sensor

We connect using 200 mm male female cables with dupont terminations from the JC Pmod connector on the board to the Pmod COLOR module. We place the new Pmod COLOR module below the robot chassis pointing towards the ground.

Pmod ports

The Pmod module does not have holes to screw the module to the chassis. We fix it to the chassis with two wires.

Emubot Line Follower. Pmod COLOR placement

Pmod COLOR module below the robot chassis pointing towards the ground.

The module has a very bright LED to improve color detection. We will use this feature for our line follower intent.

Enubot Line Follower

The Line Follower Application Program

It's a very simple application that makes extensive use of the Bot Application Framework introduced previously.

The application can be downloaded from the github repository under E14SpartanMigrationProgram/bot/src/line_follower_app.c

GitHub - javagoza/E14SpartanMigrationProgram

Line Follower Application Program flowchart:

Line Follower Application Flowchart

Following the Line with One Sensor

If the sensor detects more light than the threshold calibrated at the beginning, it accelerates the right wheel by a factor calculated by the PID controller, turning the robot to the left, towards the line, if it detects less light than the threshold, it accelerates the left wheel turning the robot to the right.

FPGA Hardware Design

We just have to add a new Pmod COLOR module from the Digilent library and assign the pmod JC port.
The automatic connection wizard leaves several pins of the JC connector undefined, we define them through the constraints file.

Refer to previous blogs for more information about this design and how to store the bitstream to program the FPGA inside non-volatile flash memory.

Constraints

New constraints file:

## This file is a general .xdc for the Arty S7-50 Rev. E
## To use it in a project:
## - uncomment the lines corresponding to used pins
## - rename the used ports (in each line, after get_ports) according to the top level signal names in the project

## Clock Signals

## SW3 is assigned to a pin M5 in the 1.35v bank. This pin can also be used as
## the VREF for BANK 34. To ensure that SW3 does not define the reference voltage
## and to be able to use this pin as an ordinary I/O the following property must
## be set to enable an internal VREF for BANK 34. Since a 1.35v supply is being
## used the internal reference is set to half that value (i.e. 0.675v). Note that
## this property must be set even if SW3 is not used in the design.

Emubot Following the Line

Summary

Our robot can already detect colors. We will use this ability in an upcoming educational project with the Emubot.
In this blog we have implemented as an exercise a painful line follower.

We discourage this way of implementing a line follower. It is an interesting exercise to fight with the PID controllers but you're not going to achieve great results.

Thanks DAB for the great suggestion. We are working on a game for Emubot, the programmable sequence robot, in which you have to “collect” colored cards by going over them in the indicated order to complete the assigned tasks.

I can see where you could lay out different tracks in different colors and have the robot follow them in color sequence.
