Since motor speeds can be slightly different, I’m interested in automating the process of calibrating the motors on a robot. I’ve done this by hand before but it was a bit tedious and error prone.
Toward this end I stumbled across a description of a robot that used downward facing reflectance sensors to accomplish this. The robot could calibrate itself by turning each wheel forward and backward while on a sheet of paper that had a black line drawn on it. It apparently measured the time between detection at various speeds.
Has anyone done this?
Thanks Tom
See, the human mind is kind of like... a pinata. When it breaks open, there's a lot of surprises inside. Once you get the pinata perspective, you see that losing your mind can be a peak experience.
