3. Control principle

The distance of the object in front is obtained through the ultrasonic module, and the car is controlled to move forward and backward according to the distance.


xxxxxxxxxx
The ultrasonic module can obtain the distance of the object in front, and we judge the position of the car based on this distance:
If the car is close to the object, we call the car's backward function in the corresponding judgment function;
If the car is far away from the object, we call the function of the car moving forward in the corresponding judgment function;
If the car happens to be at the distance we set, we call the car stop function in the corresponding judgment function.

For the underlying driver, you can refer to the tutorials in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.
For the application layer, you can read the source code in the project file yourself

4. Experimental Phenomenon

After successfully downloading the program, press the RESET button on the development board to observe the effect of the car!


xxxxxxxxxx
For program download, please refer to [2. Development environment construction and use: program download and simulation]

Phenomenon:

Hand close to the ultrasonic module: The car moves backwards

Hands away from the ultrasonic module: The car moves forward. When the distance exceeds the maximum following value, the car stops.

Keep your hand within the following distance: The car will move forward first and then stop.
