Sharp IR On Car Robot, Table Top Robot Avoids Falling Off

Sharp IR sensor - ARC

figured it out - now it starts, avoids falling off table, turns left, keeps going  - cheers!

:loop adc_wait(adc0,lower,160) stop() reverse(200,500) sleep(50) left(255,500) stop() forward() sleep(50) goto(loop)

How would you write this code in java? EzAng

Synthiam ARC doesn't work with Java - at least not without a ton of work. You'd need to create some bridge between the two compiled executables.

Also, I don't think those sleep(50) lines are doing anything.

I ment Java script

This is probably a good way to back away from cliffs...

JavaScript Code

while (true) {

  // Wait for ever until the sensor is lower than 160
  // meaning a cliff was detected
  ADC.waitForLower(adc0, 160);

  // start moving back at speed 200
  Movement.reverse(200);

  // Continue moving back until the cliff sensor
  // no longer detects the cliff
  ADC.waitForHigher(adc0, 160);
  
  // And continue back a little more just in case
  sleep(1000);

  // Stop moving cause we're safe
  Movement.stop();    
}

thanks DJ for the code

Actually this makes more sense if using any NMS skills for navigating..

while (true) {

  // Wait for ever until the sensor is lower than 160
  // meaning a cliff was detected
  ADC.waitForLower(adc0, 160);

  // Instruct any  NMS navigation that we're pausing
  Navigation.SetNavigationStatusToPause();
  
  // start moving back at speed 200
  Movement.reverse(200);

  // Continue moving back until the cliff sensor
  // no longer detects the cliff
  ADC.waitForHigher(adc0, 160);
  
  // And continue back a little more just in case
  sleep(1000);

  // Stop moving cause we're safe
  Movement.stop();    
  
  // Resume any  NMS Navigation
  Navigation.SetNavigationStatusToNavigating();
}

My problem was - I have a Sharp IR distance sensor, I need a Sharp Infrared Proximity Distance Sensor, ordered it

What is a the diference between "Sharp Infrared Proximity Distance Sensor" and "Sharp IR distance sensor"?
