Testing Log 1: Light Sensor

Date: 2/22/2023

Test Duration: 10:30AM-10:55AM

Number of Runs Performed: 2

Team Members Present: Anna-Kate Miedler, Sariah Echols, Reina Quinn,

What was being tested: Whether the robot can accurately respond to the light 

Observations: 

  • At first thought the light to be just white but it is actually red
  • Robot not built yet so used the Crayola bot to test the CdS cell
  • For test 2, included a call to a function that would cause robot to move when light sensor turned on
  • Only the left wheel was functional on the crayola bot used

Outcomes: 

  • Test 1
    • Robot initially only outputted the “I see the light” statement when the light was turned off, meaning there was an issue in the code- code waited until input was found and then removed.
  • Test 2
    • When the light was turned on the crayola bot responded accordingly by displaying the “I see the light” statement on the screen as well as beginning to move
    • Only one motor moved but swapping the ports showed that it was likely a fault of the motor and not the code
