Distance Sensor (ROBOT FEATURE)
My final project is a new feature added to the robot that we made for our course. It is a distance sensor, which identifies if the robot is approaching an object. The objective of the project is to prevent the robot from colliding with any object and thus could break or damage
Supplies
- 9 alligators clips
- 1 CPB
- 1 portable chargeable battery
- 1 Distance sensor (APDS 9960)
- 1 LED strip
- 1 speaker
- 4 male-to-male cables
** these are the supplies for the distance sensor feature, you can also use it in other things like toy cars
Code Your Sensor
Write your code and save it in your CPB.
