034 Using the TCRT5000 for Line Following and More

The TCRT5000 photo reflective sensor is great for line following, but based on this test, it could be much more useful in helping with localization too. In this experiment I will use the sensor to also detect a specific point along the line.
NOTE! After filming this story, many problems came up with the original concept of localization for ZoomTown and the importance of this concept rose dramatically. In the next episode, this will be explained in much more detail. But as of the release date of this video, this concept may very well save the ZoomTown experiment!!.

Looks like a normal parking problem. Sometimes you have to, in tight turn situations, swing out towards the centre of the road before making the turn. Perhaps the system of "locating" other vehicles could put in a delay in before manoeuvering.
Getting really interesting now. Maybe that should read even more interesting. Whatever, just accept enjoying it very much. Thanks

Hi Nigel,
It certainly is getting INTERESTING!!! As mentioned in the video lead-in, since that video was filmed, a lot has changed and is currently changing. There are just so many challenges to this project - way more than I thought at the beginning.
Cheers!
Chris
