Robotics with the Boe-Bot

Boe-Bot should move forward. If you cast a shadow over one of the photoresistors, the
Boe-Bot should turn in the direction of the photoresistor that senses the shadow.

√

Enter, save, and run ShadowGuidedBoeBot.bs2.

√

Use your hand to cast shadows over the photoresistor dividers.

√

Study this program carefully and make sure you understand how it works. It is
very short, yet very powerful.

' Robotics with the Boe-Bot - ShadowGuidedBoeBot.bs2
' Boe-Bot detects shadows cast by your hand and tries to follow them.

' {$STAMP BS2} ' Stamp directive.
' {$PBASIC 2.5} ' PBASIC directive.

How ShadowGuidedBoeBot.bs2 Works

The

IF…THEN

statement in the

DO…LOOP

looks for one of the four possible shadow

conditions: both, left, right, neither. Depending on which condition is detected,

PULSOUT

commands deliver pulses for one of the following maneuvers: forward, pivot right, pivot
left, or sit still. Regardless of the condition, one of the four sets of pulses will be
delivered each time through the

DO…LOOP

. After the

IF…THEN

statement, it’s important to

remember to include the

PAUSE 20

to ensure the low time between each pair of servo

pulses.
