3) Tracking Light
Setting:
• Light follower
• Brake mode
Sensors:
Point the side ones
approximately parallel
downwards and the
middle one vertically
upwards.
The ambient light should not be too strong for this
function so that varikabo can recognize the light
well. Experiment with the distance and inclination
of the side sensors.
varikabo follows a light
on the ground (from a
flashlight) and stops
before the light.
varikabo also stops when
it sees a shadow above it.
4) Tracking Objects
Setting:
• Shadow follower
• Brake mode
Sensors:
Point the side ones
about 45° downwards
and the middle one
also approx. 45°.
Adjust the distance between the side sensors to
the size of the object. Experiment with the
inclination of the sensors so that both following
and stopping work well.
varikabo moves towards
dark objects directly in
front of it and stops in
front of them.
varikabo tracks moving
objects.
