Experiment 1.3 – Interactive Programs
Objectives:

Program that reacts to sensors.

Using variables.

Moving the SENSE between lines.

Moving the SENSE between line and a wall.
Equipment required:

Computer

RobocklySense software

SENSE autonomous

USB connection cable

BAT-202 Battery module
Discussion:
In this experiment, we will move the SENSE between two black lines. The
position of the lines limits its motion. The robot changes direction when it finds a
black line. This is an example of a system called a Manipulator.
We will learn how to read and react to the Line and the Front Range sensors.
A closed loop system is a control system, which reacts to sensors and switches.
An example for closed loop system is a control system that lights up a lamp when
it is dark, and turn it OFF when there is light. This system is automatically adapted
to summer time (when the night is short) and to wintertime (when the night is long
and starts early).
The program of closed loop system contains decision instructions such as:
'Wait – until', 'Stay while', 'If – then'.
The programs in this experiment use the 'Wait – until' instruction.
