Lab 2

Progress Report Question

  • The constraints of the code on the AEV is that by telling the AEV to stop it wont stop right away. You can only tell the AEV at what time or location to start braking. Because of this you will need to order the AEV to break sooner then when need to

Lab Deliverables

  • The reflectance sensor work by shooting light at an area and seeing how much light bounces back. In this lab it will shoot light light at the tin foil on the wheel causing the light to bounce back to the sensor. This allows the sensor to be able to detect how many times the wheel passes a mark. This is important for this project because it allows the programmers to tell how far the AEV shall move. Without it, you could only program the AEV based on time which would be very hard to do.
