Fuzzy Line Following NXT Robot - 5 views

  •  
    One of the tutorials within the Lego Mindstorms NXT Software shows how to program a robot that follows a line using Boolean Logic. In the following, an improved version, based on Fuzzy-Logic, is presented. Although a little bit more complex, the program is still implemented using NXT-G Code.

Sound sensor - 4 views

  • Both LEGO™ NXT sound sensors were placed at the same distance from the speaker. A very simple LabVIEW NXT toolkit was run in debugging mode, in order to display the values on the PC screen and keep the NXT alive (Fig. 3). The frequency and the signal amplitude were gradually changed and the sensor readings were noted manually and entered into an Excel-file and also into a LabVIEW 3D-graph program (that we do not reproduce here). (Fig. 4 and 5) show the different graphs in 3D for the frequencies 100..1000Hz.

      we could use this to make the user have to do less to use the robot

    This shows how the sensor will detect sound and then transmit it to the nxt

  • When line following, the robot will try to align itself centered over the boundary between white and black (not centered over the black line), with black to the robot's left.  Here the brightness seen by the sensor is halfway between the black/min and white/max readings
    • Joshua Wilkinson
       
      This would be useful since we get the value when its over the tape and table, we can also find the value of the sensor when its directly over the tape then the table seperately.
  • When prompted to sample the "Min" or "Black" reading, position the sensor so that the red spot is centered over the line and then press the Enter button on the NXT. When prompted to sample the "Max" or "White" reading, position the sensor so that the red spot is completely over the surface away from the line and press the Enter button on the NXT.
  •  
    Before line following using either the LineFollow2 or LineFollow5 program, you should "calibrate" the light sensor to the actual conditions expected. With the sensor mounted on the robot where it will be used, and the robot placed over the actual line it will be following, a calibration process takes two light sensor readings, one directly over the line (minimum = darkest), and one over the surface away from the line (maximum = brightest).
  •  
    if we follow the edge of the line we will always be between the max and the minimum values. therefore, it can detect both values and stay between the min and the max.
  •  
    we have to figure out how to correctly calibrate the sensors

    this shows how to get an NXT to keep on the line where it should turn and all taht good stuff

  • This motor shaft will make 3 rotations, in the same time the output shaft makes 5 Gears used: 20 tooth on motor, 12 tooth on output Gear Ratio: 3:5 Power: 3/5x motor Speed: 5/3x motor (faster)
  • This motor shaft will make 1 rotations, in the same time the output shaft makes 3 Gears used: 24 tooth on motor, 8 tooth on output Gear Ratio: 1:3 Power: 1/3x motor Speed: 3x motor (faster)

    great ideas for gear ratios

    very helpful gear ratio chart
  •  
    the bottom two charts are good. It does make it go considerably faster
  •  
    It looks like a smart idea for designing the wheels maybe it would be possible to adjust it and make it stronger
  •  
    This is probably the best for speed and power(torque). The robot would be front wheel drive based on that if the nxt is on the back with the wheels the robot would flip or slide down due to the weight on the downhill side of the robot not the uphill side(assuming the track is at 22.5 degress

    I agree wit Josh this is what we need for the project

NXT Data Collection - NI Discussion Forums - 3 views

  • sounds like for your application you might want to use the Log Angle (red/blue/green) nodes to acquire your data. This lets you sample at a specific rate for a given amount of time and saves the data to a file called RedData.dat, BlueData.dat or GreenData.dat depending on the color of the Log Angle you chose

      is it posssible to use at least two of these on the robot, or is there not enough ports on the nxt
    • Thomas Helm
       
      im very sure that you can use more than one sensor but ill see if i an find something on it now
  • The Touch Sensor reacts to touch and release, enabling your LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT robotic creation to "feel" like never before! It can detect single or multiple button presses, and reports back to the NXT Intelligent Brick
