Monday 17 February

After nearly a straight two week absent I have returned. As I have been away for a while it meant I hadn't been able to finish completely programming my robot, but luckily for me I was almost finished and all I needed to do was get one other sensor to work which was the Ultrasonic sensor. I hadn't any experience with this sensor so I asked Shane for a bit of help. He manage to help me but the only problem was that the robot didn't function too well even though I didn't have any errors so I asked for Johns help about five minutes before lunch. By the time lunch came we hadn't managed to figure it out so John Told me to go to lunch and when I got back from lunch John had got it working for me, I hadn't a clue how long it took him but looking at it he changed the while loops to if loops and changed a couple of other things, this meant it was working perfectly now.
In between getting the robot coded properly I updated some work that John had sent back and luckily there weren't many changes so I implemented them and sent it back to him. Once everything was done I done the whole task of sending my robot around a track in which it has to track a black line. It also had to stop when I waved my hand in front of it, it had to stop and reverse when it collided with an object and it finally had to spin 540 degrees when I clapped my hands. It was a good day as I got a lot accomplished. Tomorrow I will carry on with the rest of the unit.
