m3pi RobotRacing
Robot racing was the very first activity we tried with the m3pi robot. The challenge was to drive around the track as fast as possible either by scripting the m3pi with some hard-coded movements, or writing a line follower.
This page pulls together the resources we've pulled together.
Lap timer¶
The lap timer was a novel idea using Javascript running in a web browser to catch the pipe characters "|" which started and stopped the timer.
The next part of this novel timer was to use an mbed as a USB keyboard, so it can then "type" the pipe characters to the web browser. The mbed also has a beam breaker connected to it which is used to trigger the typing!
