Dear All
Software is ardumower master off gut hub
Arduino mega board
PCB 1.3
I have a mini working to some degree. It has bluetooth and an IMU, perimeter system, odometer, and sonar. Forgetting sonar for now in which order would you set up these elements so as to build on a solid behavior in command mode.
Currently the mini in auto approaches the perimeter, stops, reverses, turns and travels in a different direction. This is not so crisp however it is working reasonably.
Neither the odometer nor IMU seem to hold the course when on a slight hill.
The IMU by itself works well . When I press North the mini turns north etc
The biggest problem I have is perimeter tracking. I parameter values seem good minus inside the loop 2200 on the wire and positive and decreasing away from the wire. The signal looks good on Arduremote. so I think this is working fine.
Some times the mini starts to track the wire and after a few seconds goes crazy. Turning circles moving outside the wire. Then maybe it just turns on the spot. Then after 10 seconds slows down and aims for the wire. When it reached the wire it turns away rather than connecting and following the wire. All sorts of behaviors that I can not relate to the parameters in Arduremote.
On my receiver I have shorted C3. The voltage output seems to always be around 2.45 Volts on my voltmeter . This does not vary with any position of the potentiometer. This seems odd!
So the ardumin can sense and detect inside and outside but can not easily follow the wire
I reduces the PWM whilst on the wire to 160
I think this can work I just need some help
regards
